Sha’Carri Richardson electrified the Olympic crowd in a flash, conveying a penetrating glare that sent a message to her competitors in the 4×100 meter relay.

Having been the top favorite to clinch gold in the 100 meters, Richardson seemed to channel her disappointment into a dominant performance in the 4×100 meters. As she approached the finish line, Richardson cast a sideways glance over her left shoulder, sending a piercing stare that dared her opponents to challenge her. She then sealed the deal with an emphatic triumphant cry as she crossed the finish line amidst the rain, her emotions pouring out like a torrent.
