Sha’Carri Richardson cruised to victory in her first-round heat at the Paris Olympics on Friday ― and we mean cruised.
The American sprint champ casually crushed the field in the 100-meter dash despite a slow conservative start and essentially cutting her power with 20 meters left in the race.
She still clocked 10.94 seconds ― a world-class time ― to advance to the semifinals.
It has been a long wait for Richardson to make her Olympics debut, so she took her time to enjoy it.
Fans on X, formerly Twitter, noticed her leisurely pace ― for her anyway.
