fans went wild online for Sha’Carri Richardson, as she stared down her two closest opponents on the home straight before winning a gold medal in the 4×100 meter relay.
As Richardson was handed the baton, the United States was in fourth place. That quickly turned to third, second, and eventually the lead, which she never relented.
With about 25 meters left in the race, Richardson felt like she had ran down Great Britain’s Daryll Neita, and looked over to the lane closest to the stands to confirm her placement, which was just in front of a camera staying with the competitors.
Richardson turned her head back straight before crossing the finish line, where she let out a loud scream upon winning gold.
Here is what some of the Team USA fans though of Richardson’s confident head turn.

‘You know she’s gonna get the job done no matter where we are in the race,’ Thomas said.
‘We did a great job every leg did a great job but there was nothing like watching her down the track and win the race for us.’

‘I just remember trusting my third leg, trusting Gabby, and knowing that she’s going to put that stick in my hand no matter what, and to leave my best on the track,’ Richardson said.
