"Multiple Olympic gold medals"- Sha'Carri Richardson unpacks 'bucket list' ahead of U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials

American track sensation Sha'Carri Richardson recently unpacked her bucket list ahead of her participation at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials, scheduled from June 21-30 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. At the trials, she has been listed to compete in the women's 100m and 200m in a bid to qualify for the Paris Olympics.

The year 2023 was one to remember for Richardson as she delivered stunning performances at the World Athletics Championships. She got the better of many top athletes, including the likes of Shericka Jackson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, to become the world champion in the women's 100m. She also collected the gold, being a crucial member of the women's 4x100m relay race.

The 24-year-old will hope to put on a similar show in the 2024 season with an aim to not only top the U.S. Olympic Team Trials but excel at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Before the much-awaited U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, when asked about the one thing from her bucket list that she hopes to achieve some day but hasn't yet, the American track star responded (via Wonderland Magazine):

“Multiple Olympic gold medals”

On being questioned about her goals for the future, both in her athletic career and beyond, and the actions she was taking to reach them, Sha'carri Richardson said:

“My goal is to be the best person and athlete I can be. Like I said before, I am really working on myself - mind, body and soul. If I continue to focus on those things, I can achieve anything.”

The 2024 Paris Olympics will be Sha'Carri Richardson’s first Olympics if she qualifies for the Games in the 100m/ 200m by placing inside the top three at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials. She missed out on an opportunity to represent the USA at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics despite occupying the top spot in the women’s 100m at the trials, clocking 10.76s.

Sha'Carri Richardson tested positive for marijuana which she claimed to have taken to help cope with her mother's death before the Olympic trials. As a result, she received a one-month suspension starting from June 28, 2021 which led to her exclusion from the Tokyo Olympics squad by the USA Track & Field.
