In the 2023 season, Sha’Carri Richardson set the tracks ablaze. The athlete stood atop podiums, clinching multiple accolades while beating her Jamaican rivals on 100m tracks. This comeback comes after the two-year turmoil faced by the 23-year-old LSU sensation after the doping allegation.

Following this update, the infamous rivalry between the team USA and Jamaica has taken a new route. As a tweet highlighting the achievements of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and the world’s fastest woman alive, Elaine Thompson-Herah has made waves in the world of athletics.

Sha’Carri Richardson’s rivals hit the headlines

On November 2, a track and field fan posted an intriguing fact captioned “Greatest female sprinters ever?” On X. According to the tweet, “Elaine Thompson-Herah (4) and Shelly-Ann Fraser (6) hold the record for the most individual female gold medals at the Olympics and World Championship, respectively.”

This fact comes months after Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce had to settle for bronze for the first time at the World Athletics Championship held in Budapest. In the 100-meter event, Fraser-Pryce was surpassed by Sha’Carri Richardson and team member Shericka Jackson, who secured the first and second positions by clocking in 10.65 and 10.72, respectively. Lastly, 36-year-old Fraser-Pryce regained her form by joining the forces of Team Jamaica to secure silver in the 100-meter relay race.
