Sha'Carri Richardson opened up about finishing last at the Eugene Prefontaine Classic 2025, which also doubles up as the Eugene leg of the Wanda Diamond League. This marked one of her worst performances since her eighth place finish at the Diamond League finals last year, which was held in Brussels, Belgium.

In her conversation with the media after the race, Richardson admitted that though she didn't have an ideal race, she achieved her primary goal of running a healthy race. In her words,

“Definitely the only motivation that I had that I had today was having a healthy race and the fact that I execute a healthy race knowing that now I have the time because I do have the bye being the world reigning world champion. All I have to do is just keep pushing and focusing in on practice. So I'm super excited to just finish. I pray for a healthy race. I got a healthy race. So, I accept that.” [0:08 onwards]

Sha'Carri Richardson is hoping to improve her performance in time, ahead of her ultimate test at the Tokyo World Championships, which would be held in September.
