Sha’Carri Richardson cruised to victory in her first-round heat at the Paris Olympics on Friday ― and we mean cruised.

The American sprint champ casually crushed the field in the 100-meter dash despite a slow conservative start and essentially cutting her power with 20 meters left in the race.

She still clocked 10.94 seconds ― a world-class time ― to advance to the semifinals.

It has been a long wait for Richardson to make her Olympics debut, so she took her time to enjoy it.

Fans on X, formerly Twitter, noticed her leisurely pace ― for her anyway.

Sha'Carri is didn’t even put her foot on the gas yet

I wouldn't count her out at all...

at all.
