Richardson was unable to compete in the 200m at the 2024 Olympics after coming in fourth at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Oregon on June 29, 2024.

Gabby Thomas finished first in the trials, followed by Brittany Brown and McKenzie Long.

Richardson, 24, is the 2023 world bronze medalist in the 200m, but unfortunately an Olympic medal in the event will have to wait.

She earned the silver medal in the 100m and is expected to compete in the 4x100m relay in Paris.

Dallas native Sha'Carri Richardson made her Olympic debut, winning her heat of the women’s 100m and qualified for the semifinals on Saturday.
