‘I’m living so many answered prayers’ – Sha’Carri Richardson grateful for her current state of blessings

Sha’Carri Richardson, widely regarded as one of the most prominent figures in Track and Field, is deeply appreciative of her many blessings. The 25-year-old athlete took to her Instagram Stories to share a heartfelt message expressing her gratitude and faith, saying, “God forgive me if I ever come off as ungrateful. I’m living in so many answered prayers.”

Richardson’s rise to fame over the past two years has been nothing short of extraordinary. On the track, she became the World 100m champion in 2023 and earned a silver medal in the 100m at the Paris Olympics. She finished both seasons with the fastest times globally, establishing herself as a dominant force in major championships.

Off the track, Richardson’s influence extends far beyond her athletic achievements. She has become a powerful brand ambassador for well-known companies such as Sprite, Swoop, and Beats by Dre. Additionally, she founded her own hair business, Flow Go Hair. Richardson’s influence continues to grow, as she was recently named to the Host Committee for the prestigious 2025 Met Gala, joining other influential figures like Chiamanda Adichie, Usher, and basketball star Angel Reese.

While Richardson has not yet competed in her first race of the year, she has a significant goal for the 2025 season: defending her 100m title at the World Championships in Tokyo. Achieving this would further cement her legacy as one of the all-time greats in Track and Field.

In another track and field story, sprinter Noah Lyles and 400m runner Junelle Bromfield have become a beloved couple within the athletics community. Despite being from different countries, their relationship continues to thrive, with both athletes finding ways to maintain a healthy balance between their personal lives and public careers. They’ve even shared relationship advice, with Bromfield posting on Instagram: “Correct each other in private, defend each other in public.” The couple got engaged in October 2024, and they now live together in a luxurious Florida home after Lyles purchased a property following their engagement.
