Richardson qualified for the Paris Olympics after running a gold-medal winning time of 10.71 at the trials. Her time is the No. 1 mark in the world this year.

She is trying to become the first U.S. woman to win an Olympic gold medal in the 100 since Gail Devers at the 1996 Atlanta Games. She is also slated to be a part of Team USA’s 4x100-realy team in Paris.

“Every time you step on the track, it’s a validation of the time you’ve put in, the sacrifices you make on the daily,” Richardson said, per Vogue. “When I get on the blocks, it’s about getting the job done. I know there’s joy at the other end, at the finish line. But I also know I’ve got to earn that happiness.”
