American sprinting star Sha’Carri Richardson has been in an intense rivalry with the world’s two fastest women, Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. The Jamaican sprinting duo of Shelly-Ann and Elaine Thompson have been dominating the women’s sprinting events.

Sha’Carri, however, is also the world’s sixth-fastest woman and has age on her side. She might not be performing at her best after her ban, but with her potential, it’s hard to doubt the things she’s capable of. Jamaican sprinting legend Veronica Campbell-Brown also believes she has the potential.

Jamaican legend advises Sha’Carri Richardson to re-focus

Since her comeback on the field after a shocking ban during the Olympic games, Richardson has failed to win a race. She had a disappointment finishing at the last position in her first race after comeback. In the same race, Jamaican stars Elaine Thompson and Shelly-Ann won first and second positions, respectively. Notably, Elaine recorded the world’s second-fastest time, ever, of 10.54 seconds.

The Jamaican sprinters have been using their rivalry with each other on the field as a motivation to do better. Olympic gold medalist and retired sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown thinks even Richardson should practice the same. In conversation with Caribbean National Weekly, Veronica praised Sha’Carri and also sent her some advice.

“Sha’Carri is a talented athlete, she is young, energetic, and exciting. But I think if she can just refocus, she will do very well in the sport. I know that Elaine and Shelly-Ann will always give her a good fight and if she uses them as motivation, they can push her to be extraordinary,” said Veronica.

Who is Veronica Campbell?

The 39-year-old Jamaican sprinter started her Olympic journey in 2000 at the Sydney Olympics. In her maiden Olympics, she clinched the silver medal in the 4*100m relay race. At her second Olympic appearance in 2004 won three medals. She became the Olympic champion in the 200m and 4*100m relay races by clinching the gold medals.

The Jamaican icon had also mentioned that she is excited to see how Richardson would perform in the future as she has the ability to win races at terrific speed.
