Sha'Carri Richardson, the reigning world champion in the 100m, is about to compete at her first Olympic Games.

The 24-year-old clocked in at a championship-record 10.65 seconds to win gold at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary. Richardson will be seeking to retain her title as "world's fastest woman" when she races at the 2024 Games in Paris. 

She has never appeared at the Olympics, despite being one of the best runners in the world this decade. At the 2020 U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, Richardson won the 100m event and was set to make her first Olympic appearance in Tokyo. However, she tested positive for cannabis use and was suspended by the USADA, disqualifying her for the Tokyo Games. 

Here's how to watch the sprinter when she makes her Olympic debut.
