Coleman came forward to speak on Richardson's behalf regarding the incident, as reported by Citius Mag: "For me personally, I feel like it was a sucky situation all round," he commented. "I don't feel like she should have been arrested. I'm the type of guy who's in the business of extending grace, and mercy and love. It didn't affect me. She's a human being and a great person, and I feel like you know, we've been able to be really good team-mates all year. We're just two dominant personalities. To me, she's the best female athlete in the world." He went on to say: "She's just had a lot of things going on, lot of emotions and forces going on inside of her that not only I can't understand, but nobody can. She's one-of-one. I know it's been a tough journey for her this year. "But she's gonna bounce back because she's the best female athlete in the world. I see it every day. She's gonna be just fine. She gonna be good, and I'm gonna be good too."

Boyfriend speaks out after Sha'carri Richardson's domestic violence arrest at airport
American sprinter Christian Coleman defended his girlfriend Sha'Carri Richardson after the Olympic track and field star was arrested for domestic violence at the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport last month. During an interview Citius Mag at the 2025 USATF Outdoor Championships, Coleman explained that he didn't think Richardson should've been arrested and that he hates negative narratives surrounding them. 'For me personally, I feel like it was a sucky situation all round,' said Coleman, who competed in the 100 and 200 meters and failed to qualify for next month's world championships. '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. I hate the narrative too… its so negative. In the state of Seattle, even talking to the cop to whatever, he was like, 'There is really nothing I can do.'' TSA notified police about a disturbance between Richardson and Coleman, according to the AP. An officer that reviewed camera footage observed that Richardson grabbed Coleman's backpack and yanked it and that Coleman was shoved into a wall. The officer said Coleman kept trying to walk around Richardson and out of the way, but she kept getting in front of him. 4 Sha'Carri Richardson competes in Heat 1 of the first round of the Toyota Women's 200m during the 2025 USATF Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field on August 3, 2025 in Eugene, Oregon.

Athletics-McLaughlin-Levrone 400m flat foray a highlight for US trials
FILE PHOTO: Jul 5, 2025; Eugene, OR, USA; Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (USA) during the 50th Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images/File Photo NEW YORK (Reuters) -Hurdles queen Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone wants to carve out new territory in the 400 metres flat as the U.S. track and field trials kick off this week in Eugene, Oregon, with a ticket to the World Athletics Championships on the line. She broke the 400m hurdles world record for an astonishing sixth time for her second straight Olympic title in Paris last year and hopes to bring home world gold in the flat event at the global showcase in Tokyo in September. She has slowly chipped away at the event after teasing her interest three years ago, becoming the second-fastest American ever with 48.74 seconds in Eugene in 2023 and winning at that same springy Hayward Field track earlier this month in 49.43. "This is just a great indicator for us, moving forward, so a lot to work on, a lot to go and look back at," McLaughlin-Levrone said after the most recent win. "It's not as daunting as it once was." With reigning champions like Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson guaranteed entry into the men's and women's 100m at worlds, McLaughlin-Levrone's 400m flat attempt injects some drama into an otherwise straightforward U.S. trials. Both Lyles and Richardson have declared for the sprint double in Eugene, though only Lyles has the bye into worlds in the 200m after taking that title in 2023, as well. Richardson can expect to see the 200m Olympic champion Gabby Thomas at the line in both events, after Thomas has kept up a busy schedule with Grand Slam Track this year, while the back-to-back men's 200m Olympic silver medallist Kenny Bednarek will feature on the men's side. Another highlight will come with the women's 800m, where the sentimental favourite Athing Mu-Nikolayev will hope to get her comeback story on track after stunningly failing to make the U.S. Olympic team a year ago at trials. The 23-year-old had been favoured to repeat in her signature event at the Paris Games but instead tripped and crashed to the track at Hayward Field. It was later revealed that she had a hamstring injury in the lead-up to the selection event. She ran her first 800m in almost a year at the Prefontaine Classic earlier this month, finishing a disappointing 10th in 2:03.44. "I'm glad I made it through the race," she told Citius Mag after the race, saying that she felt physically ready to compete at the U.S. trials. "I'm just happy that, you know, I'm not crazy down about it. I know it's been a while - it's just what comes with coming back." The 2025 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships begin on Thursday.
