Only a gold medal seemed worthy of her ability. Richardson’s time of 10.87 was good enough to win a silver, her first Olympic medal. Julien Alfred just won the FIRST Olympic medal EVER for Saint Lucia! Richardson missed out on delivering the United States’ first gold medal in the women’s 100 meters since Gail Devers in 1996. She could still win a gold medal in the 4×100 relay on Aug. 9.
