The unexpected favorite over Sha’Carri Richardson, according to the USATF coach, is “not my number one.”

With a spectacular anchor leg in the women’s 4×100-meter relay at the Olympics in Paris, world 100-meter champion Sha’Carri Richardson solidified her legacy in track and field history and won a gold medal for Team USA in one of the event’s most thrilling races.

The sports community is intrigued by the disclosure made by USATF head coach Mechelle Freeman three months later that Richardson was not her top-ranked relay runner.

Freeman made these remarks while recently appearing on the Ready Set Go podcast, which is hosted by Rodney Green and former Olympic sprinter Justin Gatlin.

Usain Bolt discusses his disappointment in the Olympics and life off the track, saying, “This isn’t the Jamaica I know.”

Although Richardson frequently garners attention for her exceptional exploits, the coach highlighted Twanisha “TeeTee” Terry, the hidden hero of Team USA’s relay triumph.

Freeman praised TeeTee Terry’s exceptional adaptability and consistency, saying, “You know, for the past three years, she has been on all three of our gold medal-winning relays.”

You could rely on her as a utility runner in the relay. You can let her know what you need, and she will use it to do the task. That’s one of TeeTee’s best features, you know.

The 25-year-old sprinter Terry has quietly established a strong reputation as the team’s go-to runner under pressure.

Freeman highlighted Terry’s crucial role in maintaining the team’s general synchronicity and poise under pressure, even as Richardson’s spectacular anchor leg wowed Parisian fans.
