Following the victory, Richardson revealed in the post-race interview that she had lost her biological mother just last week.

“My family has kept me grounded,” Richardson said, “I’m highly grateful for them. Without them, there would be no me.”

Richardson’s Olympic berth has set up a highly anticipated head-to-head match-up with Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce in the 100m in Tokyo.
