The American Track and Field athlete Gabby Thomas took to her social media to open up about the ongoing beef in the USA relay training camp.
The issue has been going on for several days now. Apparently, Thomas and Sha'Carri Richardson went into a scuffle when the former called out the latter and her team for being late at the relay training camp.
Both athletes got into a scuffle at the USA relay training camp. While Richardson hasn't spoken anything on her social media, Gabby Thomas gave a fitting reply indicating she doesn't care about the beef.
"If you're beefing with me you're beefing with yourself bc life is short and I'm truly too blessed to be stressed," Thomas said.
While Thomas will be competing in the women's 200m event at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Richardson will be in action in both women's 100m and 200m events.
