World champion Sha'Carri Richardson is hard at work as she seeks redemption after losing to Julien Alfred. The Saint Lucian beat favorite Richardson to win the 100m title in Paris Olympics.
She did not qualify for the 200m, however, finishing fourth in the final of the qualifier. At the Olympics 100m, Richardson finished second behind Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred, who had a faster start out of the blocks and never relinquished her lead.

Recently, she was spotted doing gym sessions alongside Christian Coleman and Bayern Munich dazzling winger Kingsley Coleman.
