According to Sha'Carri, she's the only American 100m runner with a chance for gold. Hmmm...Big words coming from an athlete who just got banned for illegal drug use and is not competing.
On racing in Tokyo, Richardson said: “I greatly apologize if I let you guys down – and I did. This will be the last time the US comes home without a gold in the 100m.
Think she'll call Jennifer Prandini and congratulate her on MAKING THE TEAM... legally? NOT!
What is insulting about this? Name one US 100M entrant outside of Sha'carri who stands a chance of medalling?
Call Prandini for what? Because she's white? If Sha'carri was running Prandini would not be one of the entrant. This is another stupid thread.
Let's not read too much into the question, as many have on this thread. Whether she's right or wrong is not the point. Yeah, we know she's good and would've been the favorite. I don't recall saying she wasn't the favorite or otherwise. "This will be the last time the US comes home without a gold in the 100m". If I'm competing in 100m or any other event as part of a team and one of my teammates made the same comment I'd be a bit put off. Anyone can win on any day, and I don't think SR can predict anything until she wins a major championship (Worlds/Oly Games) and racks up a few Diamond League victories to validate her talent. The optics are bad for her due to her being DQ'd and not competing.
You need to "Walk the Walk" before you "Talk the Talk".
Nothing personal here...Easy does it!
