American sprint legend Gail Devers has named her dream 4x100m relay team, including reigning world 100m champion Sha’Carri Richardson.
The three-time Olympic champion expressed her love for Sha’Carri Richardson’s stare as she noted that she loves seeing her run the anchor leg in the relays. Gail Devers explained that she would still place the Olympic 100m silver medallist on the anchor leg.
Gail Devers added that she would have multiple world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce start due to her impressive mastery of getting out of the blocks. Reigning Olympic champion Julien Alfred would run the second leg with Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith running the third leg
Gail Devers added that with such a combination, all world records would be in danger and the organisers would have to come up with a new medal for them.
Devers has revealed why she kept her fingernails curled during her sprinting days.
American track legend Gail Devers has long been recognized not only for her remarkable speed and competitive spirit but also for her signature long, curving fingernails.
Recently, she opened up about the story behind her unique nails and the difficult health journey that made them an important symbol of her resilience. In a revealing interview on the Ready Set Go podcast with Justin Gatlin and Rodney Green, Devers shared how Graves’ disease not only impacted her physically but also led her to embrace her long nails as a reassuring ritual.
In 1988, Devers was a standout athlete at UCLA, having just shattered the American record for the hurdles. With her speed and skill, she was widely considered a favorite for the gold at the Seoul Olympics.
