(WVUE) - Sha’Carri Richardson’s return to the race track didn’t end in the triumph for which she was hoping. Her comeback race against eight other world-class sprinters ended with a last-place finish.
Richardson, who was disqualified from the Tokyo Olympics, made her debut in the Prefontaine Classic at the University of Oregon where she was set to race in the women’s 100-meter dash. Alongside would be the three Jamaican Olympians who took the gold, silver, and bronze medals in her absence.
Richardson ended up finishing ninth with a time of 11.14 seconds. In a post-race interview, she delivered a fiery message to all the people who doubted her.
“This is one race,” she said. “I’m not done. You know what I’m capable of. Count me out if you want to. Talk all the sh– you want. Because I’m here to stay. I’m not done. I’m the sixth fastest woman in this game ever. Can’t nobody ever take that from me.”
Richardson was also scheduled to compete in the women’s 200 on Saturday afternoon but withdrew from that race.
