[WATCH] - Sha'Carri Richardson races fearless 4-year-old in a speed test thrilling encounter
World 100m champion Sha'Carri Richardson has her mini in the making after being challenged to a race by a fearless 4-year-old in a thrilling encounter.
Richardson was one of the brilliant performers at the just concluded Paris 2024 Games, having blazed to the Olympic silver medal and anchored Team USA to the 4x100m title.
Surprisingly, during her brand Ad shoot for Oikos, the 4-year-old who was present with her mum (the photographer) challenged the world's fastest woman in the world this year to a race, which she obliged.
As her mum called on the track to be ready, the young girl said "Wait, I'm four," selecting her lane. Richardson responded "Okay, I know that's right. Excuse me, I'm in the middle of the track. You ready?"
When the race commenced, Richardson tiptoed alongside the cute girl, allowing her to cross the finish line first.

Richardson did the brand Ad for Oikos before the Paris Olympic Games, and giving the young girl the privilege to challenge her in a race speaks volumes on the impact it'll have in the child's life as she can grow up to dream of being an Olympian in the future.
