Sha'Carri Richardson Sounds Warning Ahead of Season Opener With Boyfriend Christian Coleman
Olympic silver medalist Sha'Carri Richardson finds herself in unfamiliar territory as she gears up for her season opener with boyfriend Christian Coleman.
Richardson had a stellar 2024 campaign, yet missed out on gold against St. Lucia's Julien Alfred at the Paris Olympics.
Since the start of the 2025 season, fans have been anticipating Richardson's season opener with excitement to gauge her readiness ahead of her 100m title defense at the World Championships in Tokyo in September.
Richardson has finally given her fans even more anticipation with a subtle warning.
The 100m world champion took to her Instagram to express her feelings about her continued absence from the track.
"To be at a track meet and not running is interesting," she said in a video posted to her Instagram story.
The video was accompanied by a one-word reaction: "soon," hinting at her possible return to the track on the horizon.
Sha'Carri Richardson's Season Opener
The American sprint queen is yet to release her season's campaign calendar.
Reports, however, indicate she will be using her boyfriend Coleman's and teammate Twanisha Terry's schedules.
The pair released an almost similar schedule, with Coleman already having opened his season and expected to next participate at the Xiamen Diamond League on April 26.
Richardson is expected to join Coleman at the Seiko Grand Prix Tokyo on May 18.
As anticipation builds for her eventual showdown with the likes of Julien Alfred, Shericka Jackson, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Richardson continues to look forward to her return to the track.
