Sha'Carri Richardson celebrates after winning the women's 100-meter finals in 10.87 during the U.S. Olympic Team Trials at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, June 19, 2021. Billed as American athletics' next star, the 5-foot, 1-inch dynamo didn't disappoint, torching the race with her trademark flourish at the U.S. Olympic trials, raising her arms to the sky and letting out a cheer in front of an elated crowd as she booked her ticket to Tokyo. “I'm highly blessed and grateful”, said Richardson, who told a television reporter that she learned last week that her biological mother had passed away. “Nobody but them and my coach know what I go through on a day-to-day basis”, pointing to her family, moments after she had embraced her grandmother in the stands.
