With excitement building for the 2024 Summer Olympics, there’s one athlete we can count on to cross the finish line in style. Though iconic, Sha’Carri Richardson’s signature nails and braids aren’t the main reason she turns heads on the track: Her unmatched form, strength, and record-breaking speed have positioned her as the fastest woman in the world as she enters the Paris Games. And there’s nothing more satisfying than the look of utter joy and unapologetic triumph on her face when she knows she’s about to win. Before she adds a new set of snapshots to the album this summer, let’s take a look through Sha’Carri’s best first-place finish line photos to date.
