Sha’Carri Richardson showed her impressive performance at the 2024 Olympics on Thursday. She won the first qualifying heat for the United States women’s 4×100-meter relay.

Midway through the race, Thomas nearly missed the baton handover from Twanisha Terry in the third leg. Thomas started early and had to slow down to collect Terry’s handoff. This resulted in Thomas posting the fifth-fastest time during her leg (10.59 seconds), allowing Germany to take first place.
The US had the fastest team time in the two qualifying heats. Great Britain won the second heat in 42.03 seconds.
