Sha'Carri Richardson Vowed The Olympics "Won't Be The Same" Without Her, And She's Absolutely Right

She is simply too good for this trash competition, TBH!

The whole world has been enthralled by track star Sha'Carri Richardson — and for good reason. The fastest woman in the US is, in her truthful words, "THAT girl."

But the athlete has been stopped in her tracks following a positive THC test that disqualified her from the 100-meter race in the Tokyo Olympics.

On Sunday, the Olympic hopeful took to Twitter to thank those — fans, celebrities, and fellow athletes — who have shown her an outpouring of support.

She also apologized, writing, "I’m sorry, I can’t be y’all Olympic Champ this year but I promise I’ll be your World Champ next year."

Can someone please give her a hug right now, please?

The athlete explained she used weed to cope with her mother's death, something that she was informed of during an interview.

While she said she wants to "take responsibility" for her actions, she also stressed that she is "human." "To put on a face, to have to go in front of the world and put on a face and hide my pain, like, who am I to tell you how to cope when you're dealing with a pain or dealing with a struggle that you've never experienced before?"

In conclusion, I hope Sha'Carri is taking the steps necessary for her healing. Saying she deserves a rest is beyond an understatement!
