American Olympian Twanisha ‘TeeTee’ Terryhas spotlighted a defining trait of teammate Sha’Carri Richardson that propelled Team USA to gold in the 4x100m relay at the Paris Olympic Games.
Terry, Richardson, Melissa Jefferson, and Gabby Thomas combined efforts to end Team USA’s relay woes, overcoming a history of baton exchange errors.
The journey to gold was anything but smooth. The relay team faced additional pressure in rainy conditions, a setting that only magnified the risks of baton mishaps.
Richardson, however, demonstrated why she is among the world’s premier sprinters. With the team still behind, she tapped into her unmatched top-end speed to surge ahead, anchoring Team USA to a dramatic victory.
