American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson has revealed she was not staring her opponents down before crossing the finish line to win the 4x100m women’s final at the Olympic Games in France.
However, the truth is stranger than we’d imagine.
It did appear that Sha’Carri was sending a message to the other sprinters, letting them know they didn’t stand a chance. But, the way she tells it, she was looking at herself – sort of.
Wow! The way she looked at her before she passed her by. Sha’Carri is unreal! 😮💨pic.twitter.com/vpCdokcoou

“Honestly, that look over, if I had to just highlight anything, the look over was — it’s almost like it was a mirror on that side of me, and I’m just looking at a version of myself that nobody but me could see, if that makes sense,” she told Refinery 29.
