Sha’Carri Richardson, a 21-year-old from Texas, has become the youngest qualifying track and field athlete so far for the United States. The sprinter won the 100-meter dash in 10.86 seconds at the Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon. According to LGBTQ Nation, that is the sixth-fastest legal time ever recorded professionally to date.
She celebrated the race by immediately running up to her grandmother and embracing her, which was made even more sentimental after telling the press that she was mourning the death of her biological mother just last week and that she’s even more dedicated to making her family that she does still have around proud.
Is Sha’Carri Richardson lesbian?
Sha’Carri Richardson is bisexual and is currently dating a girl. She announced the truth about her sexuality via a tweet in Aug 2015. While Richardson is reportedly private about her personal life, she revealed that her bright orange hair color was picked out by her girlfriend. “She said it like spoke to her, the fact that it was just so loud and vibrant, and that’s who I am.”
While many believe she meant “girlfriend” in a romantic way, some aren’t sure since some women used the term platonically. Gay Twitter especially has taken it as the former.
