Sha’Carri Richardson has sent a bold message to her competitors ahead of her highly anticipated Olympic rematch with Julien Alfred in Zurich. Reigniting her iconic mantra, Richardson aims to seek revenge against the St. Lucian sprinter, who recently set a personal best of 10.71 seconds in their last meeting at the Paris Olympics.
Many believe Richardson wasn’t at her best during that final due to a pre-race mishap that left her and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce unable to enter the stadium on time, impacting her performance both physically and mentally.
Now, with the Paris excitement behind her, the reigning world 100m champion is determined to show that her previous loss was an anomaly and that she’s in top form for the Zurich Diamond League. She recently shared a video on Instagram showcasing her new custom Nike spikes, featuring her mantra: “I’m not back, I’m better.”
