Team USA has no shortage of stars at any Summer Olympics and two of the brightest in Paris take center stage on Saturday. Sha'Carri Richardson and Katie Ledecky have been household names for years, and they can both make some history with gold medals.
Richardson, who missed the women's 100m in Tokyo after testing positive for marijuana, is trying to break Jamaica's streak of consecutive gold medals in the event. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce (2008, 2012) and Elaine Thompson-Herah (2016, 2021) have won the last four gold medals in the race. The last American woman to win gold in the event was Gail Devers back in 1996.
