How Did it Go for Richardson at Previous BET Awards?

Richardson has been there three times and lost, missing the 2022 award to tennis star Naomi Osaka, before Reese claimed the 2023 and 2024 gongs, and she will hope to be fourth time lucky this year although the likes of Gauff and Biles had better seasons last year.
Richardson won Olympics silver in 100m in Paris but anchored Team USA to 4x100m relay gold and will hope that is enough to persuade the judges that she deserves the award this time.
The 25-year-old is yet to begin her 2025 season but is expected to defend her 100m world title in Tokyo, Japan in September.
