Sha'Carri Richardson failed to qualify for the Olympics in the 200-meter after finishing fourth at the U.S. Olympic track trials on Saturday.

Richardson got off to a strong start and remained near the front coming around the turn, but she fell behind down the final stretch as Gabby Thomas won with a time of 21.81 seconds. Brittany Brown and McKenzie Long finished in second and third, respectively. Richardson finished the race in 22.16 seconds.

After coming up short in the 200-meter, Richardson will only get the chance to compete for an individual gold medal in the 100-meter, though she will also compete with the women's 4x100 relay team.
