The relay team featured Gabby Thomas, Melissa Jefferson, Twanisha Terry and Richardson as the anchor. Team USA had a slow start on a wet track in rainy conditions, but Richardson's blazing speed made up enough ground to help them bring home gold, recording a season-best 41.78 seconds.

This is Richardson's second medal in the 2024 Olympics. She earned a silver medal in the women's 100-meter dash earlier this week.
