When asked to name her all-time dream 4x100m relay team including herself, Devers declined to a spot would line up legendary Jamaican queen Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Saint Lucia’s golden girl Alfred, British record holder Dina Asher-Smith, and American track star Richardson.
“Obviously, Sha’Carri.. they’re going to give her a lead, but do I want to see her go and get somebody? I like when she does that and look to the side. Let her go anchor.
“I want Mommy Rocket [Fraser-Pryce] out the hole… and then I got Julien Alfred… So I got somebody from the US, got somebody from Jamaica, somebody from Saint Lucia. I got to find somebody else. Dina Asher-Smith, and that’s the relay.
