Sha'Carri Richardson arrived at the 2024 U.S. Olympic trials looking for redemption after a suspension kept her out of the Summer Games three years ago.
Redemption is exactly what she earned in the 100m dash Saturday.
The fastest woman in America left no doubt in the event final, punching her ticket to Paris with a blazing 10.71-second finish. Her time was considerably better than the 10.87 she ran in the semifinal earlier in the day, though she won both races.
Richardson didn't get quite the start she wanted in either race Saturday, but her start was markedly better the second time around. That was enough to shave 0.16 seconds off her final time and reinforce that Richardson will be a prime contender for the gold medal in August.
Joining Richardson in Paris will be Melissa Jefferson (10.80) and Twanisha Terry (10.89), with Terry just barely holding off Tamari Davis (10.91) to fulfill her Olympic dream.
