Sha'Carri Richardson shared a glimpse of a portrait of the athlete from a moment at the Paris Olympics after winning the medal. The American athlete revealed that the portrait is featured in the house of her grandmother, Betty Harp, who she lovingly calls 'Big Momma'.

Richardson marched on to the Paris Olympics to make her debut at the quadrennial games after qualifying for the major games for the second time.

Despite qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics, she could not compete in the Japanese capital as she received a one-month suspension for testing positive for cannabis.

Sha'Carri Richardson made her Olympic debut in Paris and finished behind Julien Alfred to win the silver medal in the women's 100m with a performance of 10.87s.

Moreover, she competed in the women's 4x100m relay where she anchored Team USA, who were trailing till the third leg of the race to Olympic Glory.

Two months after the Paris Olympics, Richardson took to Instagram to share a portrait of a moment from the quadrennial Games. The portrait features Richardson draped in the American flag as she celebrated her outstanding victory in the French capital.

"A beautiful piece of art. Featured in big Momma Museum," she wrote.

Sha'Carri Richardson competed in the women's 4x100m finals as a part of Team USA which included Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry, and Gabrielle Thomas. Richardson ran in the anchor leg and took over the baton from Gabby Thomas.

Team USA was trailing before she embarked on the final stretch to assert her dominance and take home the gold medal with a formidable lead.

A moment ahead of the finish line went viral on social media in which Richardson is seen staring down at her opponents before crossing the finish line.

She spoke about the moment in an interview with Refinery29 and said:

"I looked over and I just knew that no matter what was going on, there was nobody that I was going to allow — even myself — to be in front of me."

"I wasn't going to even allow myself to not cross that finish line in first place and not get that medal, or to let down those ladies and the support that we received when it comes to us crossing the finish line, in first place as Team USA," she added.

After the Paris Olympics, Richardson competed in two Diamond League events in Zurich and Brussels, before concluding one of the most successful seasons of her career so far.
