SAINT-DENIS, France — There are moments that you know will live in Olympic history the moment you see them. Sha'Carri Richardson, running the anchor leg of the women's 4x100 relay final in a steady rain, turned her head with 20 yards remaining and eyed her closest challenger, Great Britain's Daryll Neiba.

The look Richardson gave Neiba was pure, searing competitive fire. Richardson took the measure of her opponent, then turned and surged forward just a touch more to claim gold for the United States in a time of 41.
