Sha'Carri Richardson's INSANE anchor leg bails out USA in Olympic relay heat as fans are left in awe: 'We're witnessing greatness'
Sha'Carri Richardson bailed out USA women from a near collapse with a sensational anchor leg in their 4x100m Olympic relay heat on Thursday.
Richardson, who had to settle for silver in the 100m final last weekend, was almost three steps behind when she took the baton last from Gabby Thomas, who earlier nearly misconnected on her exchange with Twanisha Terry.
That put the 24-year-old in a hole against Germany's Rebekka Haase, but she was looking back at her by the finish after erupting down the stretch with an explosive anchor leg.
The Americans eventually won in 41.94 seconds, .19 ahead of the Germans, to advance to the gold-medal race in Paris.
And following her insane performance, fans rushed to social media to rave about Richardson.

One wrote on X: 'sha’carri really showed up for that anchor leg!'
Another commented: 'We're witnessing greatness unfold here'.
'Sha’Carri’s high knees are insane,' said a third.
A fourth posted: 'Dang! She is incredible'.
'Sha’Carri will not be denied,' wrote a fifth. 'She said she’s coming home with an Olympic gold medal one way or another.'
While one simply put: 'She a DAWG'.
Richardson is hoping to leave the Paris Games with her first Olympic gold medal after she was narrowly beaten by Julien Alfred of St Lucia in last Saturday's 100m final.

It was a disappointing outcome for the reigning world champion at her first ever Games - three years after she missed out on a place in Tokyo after testing positive for THC.
And when assessing where she went wrong, Richardson will surely look no further than her sluggish reaction to the starting pistol.
It took her 0.221 seconds to get out of the blocks, which was the slowest time of all eight runners on the day.
She was then forced to spend the duration of the race chasing down Alfred, but in the end was left to rue her poor start.
