Sha'Carri Richardson made a special appearance at the POSSIBLE Miami Beach conference, speaking about her role in Athlos and the importance of women's sports.
## What happened at the conference?
She was joined by Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Athlos, and discussed the project's vision for women's track and field.
On April 29, the official Athlos account shared a video featuring Richardson and Ohanian at the conference.
The event brought together major voices from sports, media, and business to discuss the future of women's sports.
## Why it matters for Sha'Carri Richardson
Richardson emphasized the need for change in women's sports, stating that women are competitors and deserve to be valued.
She also highlighted the disparity in media coverage and sponsorship dollars, with women's sports receiving as little as 10% of global media coverage.
In 2024, Richardson spoke out about the need for equal pay for women athletes, saying she'd love to see women receive similar compensation for their sacrifices.
## What comes next for Athlos?
Athlos has introduced higher prize money for women's meets, with winners earning around $60,000 per race.
Richardson believes that Athlos will create a consistent and centralized platform for track and field fans to watch and support women's sports.
She also shared her vision for Athlos, saying it will create meets across the world and in the United States, providing a consistent way for fans to see track and field.
And with her busy racing season, Richardson continues to balance her role in Athlos, making time for special appearances and speaking out about the importance of women's sports.
But her 2026 season has been unpredictable, with her pulling out of the 200m at the Tom Jones Memorial Invitational due to an unspecified reason.
So far, she has competed in the Stawell Gift in Australia, winning the women's 120m handicap in 13.15 seconds on a recent date.
Richardson's schedule may be uncertain, but her commitment to Athlos and women's sports remains strong.
As she continues to compete and speak out, Richardson is making a lasting impact on the world of track and field athletics.
