2024 Paris Olympics: How to watch Sha’Carri Richardson compete in the women’s 100m final today
All eyes are on on US Olympic Track & Field sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson this week as Track & Field begins. Richardson is the current world leader in the women’s 100m event, having recently run it in just 10.71 seconds at the United States Olympic trials. Richardson made her Olympic debut early on Aug. 2 in the women’s 100m preliminary round at the Stade de France in St. Denis. To no one’s surprise, she won her heat. Now it’s on to the women’s 100m final tomorrow, Aug. 3 at 1:10 p.m. ET.
