Sha’Carri Richardson Brings Tears to Sister’s Eyes With Life Update Before Diamond League Race

“To know me is to know that family is everything! I am so grateful to get to share moments like this with my family,” this was a part of the caption of the Instagram post where Sha’carri Richardson shared a picture with her family. Posting a picture with her brothers and sisters, her caption truly defined how much her family meant to her and how of her is there because of her family. How could her siblings leave this opportunity to share the same love for her?

“🥹♥️why is this bringing tears to my eyes joyfully,” commented Sha’Carri’s sister L.A.N.E. (Let All Negativity Erase) on her latest post. She is a singer, rapper, musician, and dancer, and LANE just happens to be her stage name. But why would she be crying? Because one of the greatest and fastest women athletes in track and field loves to eat turtles- one of the slowest mammals on planet earth.

The Olympian posted an Instagram video on May 27, 2025, in collaboration with the official account of DeMet’s Turtles – a popular chocolate brand. Donning an all-red outfit to complement the colors of the brands, the 25-year-old said, “I’ve been fast my whole life. Breaking records, winning medals, earning praise, all for just being fast. It’s not as easy for me to slow down as it is for others.” The video then cuts into the short of a turtle just walking by, mind his own business, and then Sha’Carri says again, “That’s why I love to eat turtles.“

In the video, the camera once again cuts back to the turtle, this time from the front. And the man is not just minding his own business, hearing Sha’Carri Richardson, he was going back into his shell. The track and field star again said, “Not you, sweetheart. These.” Then she pulled out an original pecan flavored Turtle’s chocolate. After devouring it most temptingly, she delivered the tag line, “Because some things shouldn’t be rushed. It’s so good. Thank you.”

Captioning the post “When I need to take pause, @turtles_chocolate is my go to on its own or sharing with a little friend. 🐢 Because sometimes, slowing down is necessary,” she sent out a message that a pause is all she needs. At the same time, Sha’Carri doing business as usual shortly after her loss at the 2025 Seiko Golden Grand Prix is a sign that she’s not letting the blues get to her. The brand collab also highlights Richardson’s new chapter in her journey off the track. Watching her grow like this, LANE’s emotional response is all but understandable here.

While it sounds very clear that this was a paid promotion, what are the updates over Sha’Carri Richardson’s track and field career, because through the 2025 season, the fans have nothing but excitement to see the GOAT on track?

Sha’Carri Richardson’s coming to the Diamond League

Sha’Carri Richardson’s season debut at the 2025 Seiko Golden Grand Prix in Tokyo on May 18 was met with high expectations. Fans were wondering how fast she would clock at the finish line and how far ahead she would be of the runner-up. All of those hopes went down the drain when the 25-year-old finished fourth. The race was won by Australia’s Bree Rizzo, who clocked 11.38 seconds. American sprinter Twanisha Terry secured a second place with 11.42 seconds, while Canada’s Sade McCreath took third in 11.46 seconds. Richardson recorded a time of 11.47 seconds, running into a headwind of -0.9 m/s.

Up next for her is the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, on July 5, marking the ninth stop on the Wanda Diamond League circuit. She will headline the women’s 100m event, aiming for her second consecutive victory at this meet. At the 2024 Prefontaine Classic, Richardson opened her season with a win in the 100m, clocking 10.83 seconds—the fastest time in the Diamond League women’s 100m that year.

After a sluggish performance, many eyes will be on her, hoping for a blasting comeback. It will be interesting to see how the events pan out. Will she clinch the title for the second time? Share your thoughts with us in the comment box below!
