Sha'Carri Richardson

Sha'Carri Richardson is honestly one of the most electrifying athletes I've ever watched. At 5'1", she looks like she walked into the wrong sport, and then she blows past everyone on the track and you realize size means absolutely nothing when you're built like a human lightning bolt. She burst onto the scene as an LSU freshman in 2019, breaking the NCAA 100m collegiate record with a 10.75 that made her one of the ten fastest women in history at just 19 years old — and she won The Bowerman Award that same year. The rainbow hair, the long nails, the unapologetic personality: she showed up to elite sprinting as fully herself, which I love. She's had real public setbacks and come back swinging every time. Watching her race at the 2023 World Championships, going toe-to-toe at the top of the global game, felt genuinely earned. She's 24 and I think we're still in her origin story.
