Sha’Carri Richardson is eying a successful defense at the 2025 Tokyo World Athletics Championship.
Olympic silver medalist Sha’Carri Richardson is setting her sights on defending her world title at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo this September.
The American sprint queen, who established herself as the fastest woman in the world at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, is determined to reclaim her dominance on the track.
Richardson made headlines at the 2023 World Athletics Championships when she stormed to victory in the women’s 100m final with a blistering 10.65 seconds, securing gold ahead of Jamaica’s Shericka Jackson (10.72) and sprint legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (10.77).
This triumph solidified Richardson as the sprinter to beat heading into the high-profile 2024 Paris Olympics.

Expectations were high for Richardson at the Paris Games, but the competition took an unexpected turn.
Her two biggest rivals, Jackson and Fraser-Pryce, were forced to withdraw from the 100m finals due to separate injuries.
This seemingly cleared the path for Richardson, yet she faced an unexpected challenge in the finals.
St. Lucia’s rising star, Julien Alfred, delivered a stunning performance, taking gold with a time of 10.72 seconds. Richardson had to settle for silver, clocking 10.87 seconds, while her teammate, Melissa Jefferson, claimed bronze in 10.92 seconds.

Teaming up with Melissa Jefferson, Gabby Thomas, and Twanisha Terry, she anchored the U.S. squad to victory, securing a coveted gold medal for Team USA.
After a mixed 2024 campaign, Richardson is gearing up for an explosive return in 2025.
