When does Sha’Carri Richardson compete next at the 2024 Olympics in Paris? Dates, times, and schedule

Hopes are pinned on Sha’Carri Richardson to come with a medal - hopefully a gold one in the women’s 100m at Paris 2024. With her daring outfits and unmistakable style, she is an imposing presence out on the track. Since the New Year started, she has also been showing the kind of form that goes with what you might expect from an Olympic champions.

Her time of 10.71 seconds from this year’s US trials in June makes her officially the fastest woman in the world this year. This puts her on everyone’s list for a podium finish, although she did not qualify for the 200m. Surprisingly, she came fourth in the final at the United States qualifying competition.

The reigning 2023 Budapest World Champion began to emerge as an athlete at 16 years old, winning the AAU Junior Olympic Games. She has not left those podiums since, with the high point being her qualification for the last Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020. Like her Team USA track and field colleague, Noah Lyles, Richardson has a bad memory from the previous games that she wants to erase and start a new page in her illustrious career.

When does Sha’Carri Richardson compete in the Paris Olympics 2024?

The young woman was unable to participate in the Japanese Games after testing positive in an anti-doping test for cannabis use, which she had resorted to, according to her statement, after learning of the death of her biological mother. A result that led to a suspension that prevented the Dallas native from attending the Olympics.

All those problems have long been resolved, and Richardson will seek to win gold at the Stade de France in this edition of the most prestigious sports event.

The American sprinter will do two events on the track&field program - below is her competition schedule:

In Friday’s 100m first round heat, Sha’Carri blazed past her competitors, crossing the line on 10.94. Three athletes recorded faster times: Josee-Marie Ta Lou-Smith 10.87, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce 10.92 and Daryll Neita 10.92, although that matters little at this stage. She will be joined in the next round by compatriots Melissa Jefferson and Twanisha Terry

Richardson next races in Semi-final 2 the women’s 100m on Saturday 3 August which starts at 1:50 p.m. ET / 10:50 a.m. PT. The first two to cross the finishing line from each of the three races plus the two fastest third place finishers, will advance to the final.
