Sha’Carri Richardson is going viral for the look she gave while running in the women’s 4x100 meter relay race at the Paris Olympics on Friday.
Richardson ran the anchor leg of the race for Team USA and helped them win the gold medal. She received the baton while behind both the teams for Great Britain and Germany but blazed ahead of those teams’ final runners to help the U.S. win gold.

The U.S. won the race at Stade de France in Paris with a time of 41.78, just 0.07 seconds ahead of Great Britain and 0.19 seconds ahead of Germany.
The best part of the race wasn’t just the way Richardson closed but what she did while closing.
People loved how Richardson glanced to her right to see where her opponents were. She looked satisfied, knowing her opponents had been licked.
The Sha'Carri stare.
