After experiencing one of the greatest showdowns in last year’s Prefontaine Classic, the fans saw its sequel this year. With a star-studded lineup, all eyes were on Sha’Carri Richardson to see if she would deliver on her claims. And deliver she did, with a convincing performance and a season-best time of 10.92seconds, Richardson finished 2nd behind Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah.

As is tradition, fans were quick to take over social media and fill it up with appreciation posts for the American.

Fans delighted with Sha’Carri Richardson

Ever since last year’s Prefontaine Classic, where Sha’Carri finished last, questions were raised, about her track credibility. People wondered if the American was ‘good enough’ to continue racing at the elite level. Even in her season debut, Richardson produced a dismal return to the track as she failed to snub the sub-11 second mark. But she has finally silenced her haters and critics with a convincing performance.

Richardson claimed the 2nd position during this year’s Eugene Diamond League with a time of 10.92seconds. Elaine Thompson-Herah took the first place with a time of 10.79seconds. Her compatriot, Shericka Jackson, finished in third place with a time of 10.92seconds. The fans took to Twitter to share their delight –

One of her supporters wrote, “This only her second race! And y’all said she was done!!! First race 11.2 and second race 10.9! Keep goinggg pooh!!!”

While another fan wrote, “Sha’Carri Richardson the 1 for the U.S.”

Richardson went against her nature as she declined to a post-race interview.

Sha’Carri’s performance came at the perfect time and venue. This is the same race where she finished 9th last year and was dubbed, a ‘failure’. With such a convincing display, her fans are hopeful of seeing her improve on her current time and become a medal contender at the Paris Olympics.

Richardson slammed a hater on Twitter

Even though Sha’Carri hasn’t been able to achieve much success on the track in the recent past, but she is still one of the most talked-about athletes in the sport. She becomes the point of attraction wherever she goes. Perhaps it is because of her fearless personality or her carefree attitude. She has faced a lot of criticism and has thus become an expert on how to deal with it.

A Twitter user called her “miss ninth place” and she had the perfect response for him. “Miss 9th place I can change that, what can you do with your life boo, let me help you.” 

The American yet again proved why she is the social media queen and how one should not mess with her while on it.
