Following the Olympic final, many thought that Richardson wasn't at her best after the mishap a few hours before her semifinal race, where she and the legendary Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce were denied entry into one of the stadium gates for not arriving with their country's team bus, which could have taken a toll on her physically and mentally.
