Amidst the thunderous cheers of stadiums and the echoes of victory, Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams‘ husband, was among those appreciating Sha’Carri Richardson. Recently, he celebrated her groundbreaking 100-meter record-breaking performance with unwavering admiration and encouragement.

Richardson’s victory in the 2023 Budapest World 100m event was a turning point in her career. She beat Jamaican stars Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to the finish line with a lightning-fast personal best time of 10.65 seconds. Her elation and raw emotion following the victory were captured in a video shared by @NBCOlympics on X with the caption, “Sha’Carri Richardson’s (@itsshacarri) incredible reaction to becoming the world 100m champion.”

Looking into that, at first the Reddit co-founder shared a high-voltage emoji and expressed his admiration. Then a Twitter user applauded how Ohanian always tried to do some good work and posted appreciation for players. He wrote, “Really love your positive posts and support of sports we don’t often pay attention to but should. Keep it up brother.”

To which the 23-time Grand Slam champion’s husband, replied, “Greatness keeps being great until folks can’t ignore it.” Richardson raced a grueling program all season and had a perfect record up until only last month when she finished second in the Hungarian Athletics Grand Prix. Four of the top 10 fastest times of 2023 were recorded by her thanks to her outstanding achievements; her career-best time was a stunning 10.71 set during the U.S. championship heats.

On the other hand, the 24-year-old athlete and Cardi B were seen talking about the forthcoming Olympics in a video that was posted on X. But in the middle of talking about the important occasion, Cardi B abruptly declared, “I will come just for you.” There was excitement and expectation in their encounter as a result of this unexpected revelation, which alluded to the likelihood that Cardi B was going to the Olympics purely to support the athlete.

Not only that, just a few days ago, even the former US Open champion, Andy Roddick, appreciated the 40-year-old American entrepreneur for his contribution to women’s sports.

During an episode of ‘Served with Andy Roddick,’ the former Grand Slam winner praised the entrepreneur for his unwavering support of women’s growth in the face of hardship. The businessman received recognition for his unwavering support and dedication to promoting equality in the sporting world and beyond, despite the strong opposition he faced.

He stated, “By the way, props to Alexis Ohanian, who in tennis world might be better known as Serena Williams’ husband. He has been one of the biggest investors in women’s sport and is now getting his ‘I told you so’ moment that is well deserved.” Roddick praised Ohanian’s visionary leadership and his awareness of how tennis is changing, as well as his support of fair treatment for female athletes, highlighting the businessman’s significant contributions to the growth of the game.
