Fans are in awe of how Sha'Carri Richardson managed to win the 100m race at the US Olympic trials with an untied shoelace and a poor start off the blocks and she has explained what that specifically means to her.
World 100m champion Sha’Carri Richardson has opened up on what it means to be able to run with her shoes laces untied and stumbling and eventually winning the heats at the US Olympic trials.
Richardson won her heat in 10.88, something that was unbelievable since she did not have a great start off the blocks and her race was marred by difficulties from her untied shoelaces.
The American sprint queen, however, takes the positive out of that race and believes that it is a sign that she is on the right path as she seeks to make the cut to the Olympic team where she intends to write history.
