'I bawled my eyes out' - Sha'Carri Richardson's rival Julien Alfred reveals simmering emotions after life-long career achievement
Julien Alfred upset a quality field in the 100m Olympic finals but her glory was even sweeter after flowing down favorite Sha'Carri Richardson in Paris.
Richardson, 24, is looking to defend her crown in Tokyo. The 2017 Pan American U20 champion won gold in the 100m at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, beating Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in a new championships record time of 10.65 seconds.
To cap off her performance in the Hungarian capital, she also won gold as part of Team USA in the women's 4x100m relay final with a championship record of 41.03 seconds in the penultimate day of the championships.

'They’re my kryptonite' - Sha'Carri Richardson on how emotional intelligence had helped build career after navigating tortuous times
American Sha'Carri Richardson explains why psychological adjustment has helped mold her into the athlete she is today and she can only get better.
"Still clocked in during the holiday#christmaseve," The Star Athletics posted on their official page. Richardson has been part of the Star Athletics training group ever since turning professional in 2019.
Three-time world champion Christian Coleman, Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman and Courtney Lindsey, were all seen undergoing their sessions.
Richardson started off the season on a strong note in the 100m, clocking 10.83s for the win at the Prefontaine Classic. She ran the world's best of 10.71s at the Olympic Trials to qualify for her maiden Olympics but couldn't replicate similar fast times in the latter part of the season.
The 24-year-old could only muster a 10.87s run in the 100m finals at the Paris Olympics to win silver while St. Lucia's Julien Alfred won the gold medal in 10.72s. She lost to Alfred again in the 100m Diamond League Finals, finishing eighth in 11.23s due to a poor start.
