The 2024 Millrose Games in New York City saw several American athletes post dominating performances. While the event witnessed several old and new faces get the spotlight, USA’s national athlete of the year Sha’Carri Richardson wasn’t participating in any of the events. However, the 2x World Champion was still seen at the venue.

While this may seem like something normal, the rumors that have been following Sha’Carri Richardson carry a different story altogether. 2023 was full of several hearsay tales that romantically connected SCR with the US sprinter Christian Coleman. In fact, a new social media post hinted that she may have come to the Millrose Games just to cheer for Coleman.

The dating rumors between the two US athletes began when one fan claimed to have spotted them together in Budapest. The fan claimed that Sha’Carri Richardson and Coleman dined at a McDonald’s outlet together during the WAC. Moreover, the duo also tried to conceal their identities with a disguise.

However, this fan saw through their disguises and also happened to be at the same hotel as the US track team.

This fan even took a picture with the duo, but when they asked SCR about McDonald’s, she denied knowing what the fan was talking about. 

There’s only one witness to this tale, and thus, it can be a cock and bull story. However, something occurred live in front of thousands of spectators at the Budapest WAC that solidified the dating rumors about Sha’Carri Richardson.
