Three-time Olympic champion Gail Devers has gone to the support of Sha’Carri Richardson, noting that despite not earning a gold medal for the US at the Paris Olympic Games, she surely did her best .
Gail Devers indicated that the gold medal will be back in the US at the LA 2028 Olympic Games, stating that Sha’Carri Richardson might have missed it in Paris but it will be returned in LA. Devers destroyed a formidable field at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, becoming the last American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in the 100-meter event.
But she thinks Sha’Carri Richardson or any other sprinter who can finish the job would bring back American glory sooner.
We’re going forward since Sha’Carri came in second, and I believe that everything happens for a reason. She didn’t get it, in my opinion, since it’s supposed to return to American territory in 2028, which is 32 years away, and you never know who might be there. It’s not simple, in my opinion, and once you get there, people will target you. In an interview with Athlos, Gail Devers stated, “But it’s just about believing and trusting.”
The legendary American sprinter also expressed her admiration for Richardson’s Olympic accomplishment. Sha’Carri Richardson won a silver medal in the women’s 100, coming in second to Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia, who took home her nation’s first-ever Olympic medal.

Yes, without a doubt. She never ceases to amaze me. Everyone has a narrative, and hers is one of perseverance. When things get tough, she manages to bounce back. She has support, which is what this meeting is all about—women supporting and connecting with one another. to support one another and make it happen,” she continued.
