World 100m champion Sha’Carri Richardson has made some interesting picks for her 4x100m relay dream team with none of her training partners selected.
American sprint queen Sha’Carri Richardson has made a surprising pick for her 4x100m relay dream team.
During an interview ahead of the Prefontaine Classic last weekend, Richardson was asked to name those she would love to have in her dream team for the 4x100m relays.
The 100m champion made an interesting selection, including a number of legends in her team, and there were some notable omissions.

“I’m gonna have Aleia Hobbs [American 60m record holder and former college mate] on there, myself, Wilma Rudolph, the 1960 Olympic 100m and 200m gold medallist, and Flo Jo [women’s 100m and 200m world record holder],” said Richardson.
Who Was Snubbed By Richardson?
Twanisha Tee Tee Terry (L) Sha’Carri Richardson (C) Melissa Jefferson (R) combined to win relay Olympics gold.
There was no space for her besties and training partners Twanisha ‘Tee Tee’ Terry and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who is currently in sublime form.
Richardson linked up with Terry, Tamara Davis and Gabby Thomas to deliver Olympics gold over the 4x100m relay in Paris last year and she was on the anchor leg when she delivered the victory in emphatic fashion.
However, the 2025 season has been rough for her with an injury combined with poor form hampering her.
Richardson has so far featured in two 100m races this year, finishing fourth at the Seiko Golden Grand Prix in Tokyo in May, before ninth place at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene last weekend.
