So when she stepped onto the rain-soaked track in Zurich, she wasn’t just running against her competition. She was running against her past, against every headline, every doubt. And in those final strides, when she overtook Olympic gold medalist Julien Alfred, it wasn’t just for the win—it was for every hurdle she had to jump just to get there.
Richardson clocked in at 10.84 seconds, a hair faster than Alfred, and despite the rain, she called it “the funnest race” she’d had all season. Fun? Maybe. But necessary? Absolutely. After regrouping post-Olympics, she knew she had something to prove—to herself, to her fans, and to every doubter out there.
This victory wasn’t just about the 100 meters. It was about her resilience, her relentless drive, and her refusal to let anything or anyone stop her from reaching her goals. This race? She needed it. And now, the world knows—Sha’Carri Richardson is far from done.
