Sha’Carri Richardson set the tone for her own comeback story a year ago, when she ran to the 100-metre U.S. title, then the world championship, and brashly proclaimed: “I’m not back, I’m better.”
Now, with a trip to her first Olympics approaching, come new questions: Is she still better than a field of the fastest women on the planet? And can she handle the pressure that is unique to the Olympics?
The 24-year-old favourite in the women’s Olympic 100 metres has been open and honest about her quest to become a more appreciative, mindful version of the person whose positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials was her unfortunate introduction to a world that knew little about her.
