Olympic star Sha'Carri Richardson arrested on domestic violence charge after incident with sprinter boyfriend
The Athletic claims Richardson, who won a 100m silver and 4x100m relay gold medal at last year's Paris Games, was held in custody for just shy of 19 hours after being arrested on a domestic violence assault charge.
It is believed the 25-year-old first got into a heated argument with Coleman, her boyfriend of two years, at the TSA security checkpoint in Seattle Tacoma International Airport before an officer witnessed her shoving him multiple times as he tried to walk away.
Footage of the alleged incident was reportedly captured on security camera, with cops deeming it enough probable cause to arrest her.
The offense was listed as a fourth-degree domestic violence assault, per The Athletic. Coleman allegedly refused to press charges and 'declined to be a victim' before the case was cleared.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the Port of Seattle Police Department for more information and to USA Track and Field for comment.
Richardson and Coleman both raced in Thursday's preliminary rounds at the 2025 USA Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
Sha'Carri posted a time of 11.07 seconds in the first round of the women's 100m race, while Christian ran 10.08 in the men's heat, but the former then withdrew from the semifinals the following day. It is unclear whether her withdrawal was related to the arrest.

Dismembered remains found by hiker in Utah belong to fisherman missing for 28 years, cops confirm
Dismembered remains found by a hiker in Utah were found to belong to a fisherman who had been missing for nearly three decades, cops say. In May, a hiker and his dog came across a hiking boot with the remains of a human foot inside on the shores of Fish Lake, the Sevier County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post Tuesday. Investigators determined the shoe was only made for one year, in 1996, and the sheriff's office had a missing persons case from 1997. David White of Washington, Utah — about a two and a half hour drive southwest of Fish Lake — had vanished in September of that year while on a fishing trip. There were no witnesses. White had rented a hotel room near the lake and he was supposed to go fishing with his friends, but the plans fell through, the sheriff's office said. White decided to go fishing anyway and was never seen again. His boat was later reportedly found trolling across the lake, but no one was on board, the Sheriff's office said. Trolling is a fishing method where a baited line trails behind a boat. 'A shoe and hat were found floating in the water giving a possible indication where White was believed to have fallen in,' according to the Facebook post. The initial search for White lasted five days with no further evidence found, and now, just about 28 years later, his family has some closure. DNA was taken from the boot and one of White's daughters and testing showed a '99.9994% certainty' the samples were related. Stefanie Bennett, one of White's daughters, said in a statement: 'We are also deeply grateful to the individual and his dog who found the shoe – without them, we would not be where we are today.' She also thanked the authorities and others for 'their incredible support and tireless efforts.' Sheriff Nathan J. Curtis said in a statement: 'This case has been on the mind of every one of the SAR [search and rescue] members who were involved in the search 28 years ago. It is good to finally have some closure for the family and the searchers.'

Venus Williams on '26 plans: Shouldn't 'ever rule me out'
August 7 - Anyone who watched Venus Williams compete on the WTA Tour over the past three decades had to come away with at least one immutable truth. She is a fighter. Many of the tennis pundits and even Venus' most ardent supporters had to believe that the 2024 Miami Open would be her final hurrah. Her latest -- and most serious health issues -- surely would lead the seven-time Grand Slam champion to put the racquets in the closet. But not so fast. Williams earned a wild-card entry to the Citi Open in Washington, D.C. last month and knocked off 35th-ranked Peyton Stearns. Williams, 45, became the oldest player to earn a WTA singles victory since Martina Navratilova won a match at Wimbledon in 2004 as a 47-year-old. She would lose in the next round to Magdalena Frech, but proved to herself that 45 is just a number. "There's one thing that I know: You're never too young or too old to win or lose," Williams said as she prepares to compete in the WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati. "Winning and losing knows no age. All that matters is that I'm prepared and ready. And the longer I play, the more I get into it, the more I train, the better I get." One year ago, Williams, who was diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome in 2011, fought a more serious health battle. She underwent surgery to remove fibroids and a large focal adenomyoma that was embedded in the muscle of her uterus. She posted this on Instagram recently: "I was told I was inoperable. I was told I could bleed to death on the table. I was told to get a surrogate and forget the hope to carry my own children. I was misdiagnosed. I went untreated for years and years and years. It's so important to advocate for your health! I suffered from severe anemia, debilitating pain, excessive bleeding and abnormally frequent menstrual cycles for many years. It affected my tennis and the trajectory of my career. I told my story so other women don't have to go through this and so they can get better sooner." The road to recovery was slow, but returning to the courts never left her thoughts. "At the end of the day, you have to live your life on your own terms," Williams said, as she prepares for an opening-round match against Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. "Your terms should be yours. It doesn't matter what anyone else says or what anyone else thinks. If you get to live life on your own terms, that's a life well-lived, and I firmly believe in that. "And I do what I do because I want to live life the way I want to, unapologetically, with no regrets and on my terms. ... Make your terms and don't surrender." After Cincinnati, Venus will compete in the 2025 US Open, partnering with Reilly Opelka in the new mixed doubles format and, hopefully, earning a wild-card entry into singles competition. Will that be Venus' final tennis chapter? Probably not. Could she compete again at age 46 in 2026? "I don't think you should ever rule me out," she said. --Field Level Media

Johnny Manziel leads pack of sports stars taking part in season four of Special Forces
Former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel headlines the pack of sports stars taking part in season four of Fox reality competition Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, which premiers next month. The quasi-military training reality show will put the 18 contestants through intense conditions and tests to see which can brave the elements similar to what members of the United States Special Forces go through. Half the cast has connections to the sports world, with former NFL players Andrew East, Randall Cobb, and Eric Decker also on the cast. Decker and East will also be joined by their respective wives - Jessie James Decker and Shawn Johnson East. Johnson East is a former Olympic gold-medal gymnast for the United States, who wore the Stars and Stripes at the 2008 games in Beijing. A unique connection to the sports world exists with Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia, a poplar face within Barstool. Rounding out those with a sports connection on the cast are former NBA star Nick Young and longtime United States soccer defender Christie Rampone. Outside the sports world, fans of the show were mostly aghast at the inclusion of 'hate crime hoaxer' Jussie Smollett, who wisecracked to his 4.5M Instagram followers on Wednesday: 'It was at this moment I said… "I should've just done The Masked Singer."' The disgraced 43-year-old swore he was attacked in 2019 by two Trump supporters, who turned out to be his former personal trainers the Osundairo Brothers, and they claimed he hired them to pour bleach on him and put a noose around his neck in order to boost his celebrity profile. Jussie only served six days of his 150-day sentence for five counts of felony disorderly conduct before the Illinois Supreme Court reversed his conviction on November 21 citing his sweetheart plea deal with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Fox. Someone with a sports connection has been part of the winning team each of the previous three seasons with Carli Lloyd, Erin Jackson, and Kayla Nicole all passing the set of tests.
