Has Sha’Carri Richardson’s full potential been actualized? A look into the world’s fastest women in 2024 season

Examining the 2024 season of the world’s fastest women – Sha’Carri Richardson and Julien Alfred. Has either of them actualized their full potential?

At the start of the 2024 season, only these names were paramount on track enthusiasts’ list to rule the women’s 100m event at Paris Olympic Games – Sha’Carri Richardson and the Jamaican ‘Big 3’ of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Elaine Thompson-Herah, and Shericka Jackson.

Interestingly, a very much unknown Julien Alfred powered her way to upset the order, which resulted in an unexpected sprint rivalry between herself and Richardson as they ended the season as the world’s fastest women.
