Agreed

Forget how she might run, her hair is the big story!

2.3m Instagram followers. 2 million of those since the trials. More than Kipchoge. It’s a popularity contest. If she performs well at Pre she’s going to be more valuable than anyone in Athletics but bolt.

So, yeah. She talks a lot of trash for someone who hasn't achieved much outside the US. Her 10.72 with a 1.6 wind in Oregon is the only real fast time of note. Yet she behaves like she has been here for longer than a second.

The best chance for her to beat the Jamaican trio was to come in quiet, humble and let complacency set in then let it all go on the track. But she's talked so much trash that you know SAFP and ETH will be on.

Yes. This is what T&F needs to build a fan base. Boring sprinters who have no personality, no rivalries and say the same lame stuff to the media about respecting opponents and just wanting to go out there and do their best. T&F would probably have media deals akin to the NFL if it weren't for the Usain Bolt guy always messing around and doing silly post race celebrations.

Then she beatin' up on old ladies that is what, 15 years older??

LOL Yam-tastic!!

At the end of the day whether you like her antics or not , she's an incredible talent. I wish her a good race and I hope the Jamaicans shine too. This level of talent and harmless rivalry in the women's sprints could only bring positives for the sport. I can't wait to see the race!

What

Its all about championships. It would not surprise me if both SAFP and ETH show up and just jog to the finish line. They getting paid either way. The Olympics are done and and the outcome of that is what determines contract/sponsorship money. It may matter to Shacarri if she wins, but not a damn to the other 2 women.

T&F has not yet found a way to make any meet outside of the Olympics and to a lesser extent the World Championships matter.

SAFP and ETH do not want to lose to Sha’Carri. Maybe they care a little bit less than the Olympic final, but they are making the trip to win.

I think Sha’Carri has a real shot, maybe around 30% chance of winning. Getting busted for weed is the best thing that’s ever happened to her. Most people still likely couldn’t tell you Athing Mu’s name. But the average person knows Sha’Carri. She is the closest to a Bolt I have seen, although slightly less polished than he was.

I didn’t like her at first, but now want to see her succeed.

Nope

If it were any other sprinter under any other circumstance, you'd be right, but this is Sha'Carri Richardson we're talking about and T&F media and media in general will make a great deal about this.

If she wins, this will get played up like it's the Olympic final because it essentially is (considering who's running). Richardson's winning time will matter much more than what ETH, SAFP Talou or Jackson put down. If she loses and gets 2nd or 3rd, it most likely won't be a blowout, and the discussion will be about her realistic chances of medaling in Tokyo.

Whether we like it or not Sha'Carri has captured the hearts of many and the ire of others, and It all equates to tons of attention at the end of the day.

Whether she comes in humble or talking trash has no impact on her chances to win.

I plan on smoking weed tonight in recognition.

Nah, I was going to, anyway.

I'm here for her. She brings energy and vibrancy to the track. Ain't nobody gonna steal her joy!

She will get 2nd possibly win if elaine is tired. But if she's spent these last two months diligently working on her start she might have a chance of winning either way. She's always been capable of a 10.6 basic this year.

I understand routing for her because you like her. But don't be silly. How many women have EVER run 10.6 basic? Richardson has never come close. Stop the silly stuff fella.

will she have remained in the testing pool and been tested during her suspension?

otherwise she might get 9.58.......

where are your facts, bruh? wrote:

Her Mt Sac run of 10.77 (-1.2) is a 10.68 basic

Interesting that for all the complaining about women (ie natural hair) being forced to conform to a certain type of female/white stereotype of hairstyle/beauty, and then high profile athletes doing just that. In fact the article highlights her fake hair style.

Would like to see her and other track athletes show up w/natural hair to set a precedent that nat hair is acceptable/beautiful.
