Sha'Carri Richardson publicly apologizes to Christian Coleman in wake of domestic violence arrest
Team USA sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson publicly apologized Tuesday to fellow track athlete Christian Coleman, the boyfriend whom she shoved at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport last month before being arrested for domestic violence.
Coleman reportedly refused to press charges after the incident, and the case was quickly cleared.
"I apologize to Christian. He came into my life and gave me more than a relationship but a greater understanding of unconditional love from what I've experienced in my past. Due to past trauma and pain," Richardson wrote on Instagram. "I was blind and blocked off to not only receive it but give it. I love him and to him I can't apologize enough. My apologize (sic) should be just as loud as my actions honestly louder. To Christian I love you and I am so sorry."
Both Richardson and Coleman competed at the USA Track and Field Championships in in Eugene, Oregon, the weekend following the incident.
There, Coleman told reporters that he forgave Richardson and didn't believe she should have been arrested.
"For me personally, I feel like it was a sucky situation all round," Coleman said, per USA Today. "I don't feel like she should have been arrested. I mean people have discussions and emotions and stuff like that. She has things that she needs to work on for herself, of course. So do I, so do you, so does everybody. But I'm the type of guy who's in the business of extending grace, and mercy and love."
TMZ published security footage of the incident, which occurred in the Seattle airport on July 27 and, according to the police report USA Today obtained, included a verbal altercation as Richardson and Coleman exited through airport security.
The footage shows Richardson pulling and pushing Coleman as he walks around the concourse, at one point shoving him into a large column. Richardson is seen following Coleman as he tried to create distance between the two of them, and police said Richardson even threw a pair of headphones at Coleman, per USA Today.
Police arrested Richardson after seeing the security tape. She was held in South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, for close to 24 hours and was released on July 28, according to jail records.
Richardson, who won gold in the 4x100 meter relay and silver in the 100 during the 2024 Paris Olympics, is the reigning world champion in the 100.
So even though she pulled out of the 100-meter semifinals at the USATF Championships earlier this month, she has automatically qualified for the event at the World Championships in Tokyo this September.

Nolan McLean: 3 things to know about NY Mets' top pitching prospect as he makes MLB debut
The New York Mets are turning to their top pitching prospect to try and mend their issues in the starting rotation. Nolan McLean, the club's No. 3 overall prospect and top young arm, is making Saturday's start against the Seattle Mariners at Citi Field. McLean's major-league debut will come after the Mets shifted Frankie Montas to the bullpen following the right-hander's struggles in eight appearances since returning from a lat strain. For McLean, the 24-year-old right-hander's first appearance on the mound will be one of the club's most anticipated pitching debuts since Christian Scott made his first start for the Mets last May. "It's just about how he carries himself, how he deals with adversity, his ability to navigate lineups, the way he fields his position, controls the running game," manager Carlos Mendoza said earlier this week. "There's a lot to like when you're talking to a manager and the people that have seen outing after outing that you probably don't see with the numbers and what the computer will tell you." Here are three things to know about McLean with his Mets debut coming Saturday in the 4:10 p.m. game: Mets' Nolan McLean made his biggest leap this season After appearing in just eight games for rookie ball and Single A in 2023, McLean began to make his move in 2024 when he reached Double-A Binghamton. He posted a 2-8 record with a 4.19 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 80 strikeouts across 81⅔ innings with the Rumble Ponies. "I remember Andy Green last year telling me, 'I wouldn't be surprised if this kid helped you at the end of this year out of the bullpen,' and this was back last year when he was still hitting," Mendoza said. "Those words stuck out. I was like, 'Really, Andy?' He was that high on him." The right-hander has made his biggest leap this season. McLean opened the 2025 season with a 3-1 record, 1.37 ERA and 30 strikeouts in 26⅓ innings and was promoted to Triple-A Syracuse on May 6. The rise has continued there, with McLean going 5-4 with a 2.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 97 strikeouts in 87⅓ innings for Syracuse this season. Nolan McLean started out as a two-sport player McLean was a touted prospect for his versatility in a multitude of ways. The North Carolina native was recruited by Oklahoma State for both baseball and football. He was relief pitcher, third baseman and outfielder entering college, along with a three-star quarterback recruit, but opted to stick with baseball. With OSU, McLean earned the nickname "Cowboy Ohtani" for his prowess with the bat and on the mound. As a sophomore for the Cowboys, he finished with 19 home runs and 47 RBIs, while batting .500. On the mound, he struck out 39 batters across 25⅓ innings. After being drafted by the Orioles in the third round of the 2022 MLB Draft, he went unsigned due to a concern with an MRI. McLean landed with the Mets one year later in the same round after posting a 3.30 ERA across 30 innings. . While a two-way player in the minor leagues, McLean posted a .565 OPS in 35 games with Double-A Binghamton last season, opting to focus on the mound beginning in late June. Nolan McLean scouting report: What he brings to Mets While McLean boasts a pair of fastballs (four-seam and sinker) that linger in the mid-90s, the prospect's most exciting pitch is his sweeper, which registers in the mid-80s. According to MLB Pipeline, McLean's sweeper grades out as his best pitch as a 70 out of 80. McLean will also mix in a changeup and curveball to diversify his offering. "There's a lot to like, man," Mendoza said. "We all see the pitches. Everyone talks about the sweeper, the mid-90s, the sinker and all that, but it's just the way he carries himself." The one area that could benefit from some improvement is McLean's walk rate. He has issued 3.9 walks per nine innings or 10.6 percent walk rate in Triple A this season.
