Sha’Carri Richardson Challenges IShowSpeed to Train Before Agreeing to Race

The Olympic gold medalist invited the YouTuber to complete an Olympian-level workout before setting a race date.

Sha’Carri Richardson, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, was challenged to a race by YouTuber IShowSpeed during a Super Bowl LIX celebrity flag football game.
Richardson declined to race immediately, instead inviting Speed to her training camp to complete a rigorous Olympian track workout first.
Speed, who has previously raced Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles and narrowly lost, agreed to take part in Richardson's training regimen before racing her.
Fans and the track and field community praised Richardson for emphasizing the importance of training and technique in professional sprinting.
The potential race has sparked widespread interest, with many questioning whether Speed can handle the demands of elite-level training.
