Let's Celebrate Black Women In The 2021 Olympics Trials.

SHA' CARRI RICHARDSON FROM AMERICA

SHELLY-ANN FRASER-PRYCE OF JAMAICA

BLESSINGS OKAGBARE FROM NIGERIAN

Yes, I'm so excited to write this piece right here.

I want to acknowledge three beautiful and powerful Athletic Queens. They're all pure magic and unstoppable. One week ago, on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, I prepared myself to watch only a limited amount of television, but I had to take some of my time to watch these ladies do their thing on track and field.

I love the summer Olympics; I can easily binge-watch for hours. Track and field have always been my favorite. I watch with excitement and amazement, basically rooting for everyone. I'm in awe of these ladies' speeds and determination. I can't help but celebrate them all. So, who's ready for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics games?

This year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, there have been a lot of changes. I will briefly name a few. The summer Olympics of 2020 is being held this year in 2021. This spectacular event usually occurs every four years—new guidelines on who can attend and the number of people allowed to attend. There will be no live viewing of the event. But it's finally happening, and it's on fire.

I choose to write about these three ladies. These queens gracefully make what they do look easy. But I'm sure that preservation and intense discipline are only a few critical factors to their success.

I will begin with Sha'Carri Richardson. Sha'Carri is a 21-year young beauty representing the U.S.A. track and field sprinter. She competes in the 100 meters and 200 meters. Dallas, Texas, is where she attended David C. Carter high school. Right after high school, she attended Louisiana State University, running 10.75 seconds at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) during her first year. (Wikipedia) She's magnificent!

Sha'Carri wasted no time being victorious with her accomplishment at LSU. At 19 years old, she started breaking records by becoming one of the fastest ten women in History during the Junior Olympics. (Wikipedia)

When she steps on the track, her personality matches her speed. She is of greatness. She is royalty on the field. She is who we will be still reading about 20-30 years from now and longer. Every move she makes has been of excellence. I light up when I watch her light up the field. Great job, Sha'Carri. You're going to Tokyo.

And it gets better—Shelly-Ann-Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica is known as one of the best sprinters ever. I'm very impressed with her. She competes in the 60, 100, and 200 meters. She has earned worldwide respect and success for being the best in the field. She undoubtedly set the highest standard and elevated the game for Jamaican athletes. She is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and a four-time national champion. Wow, that's impressive. Shelly became the fastest woman alive when the trails began after running 10.63 seconds in the 100 meters in Kingston; this was last week. (Wikipedia)

She began running when she was 21 years young. She plans on retiring after Tokyo. Because she is headed to Tokyo after her performance last week, I can't wait to see what she will do in her grand finale.

Last but not least, Queen Blessings. I love her name. Blessings Okagbare is from Sapele, Delta State, Nigerian. She has been active in this sport since 2007. This beautiful and robust woman signature that she is most known for is her long jumping and short sprints. She has many accomplishments, including the Guinness world record holder for 2nd fastest women's 100-meter runner for African record. (Wikipedia)

Her national titles are the Nigerian Athletics championships, NCAA Women's Division 1 indoor track. NCAA Women's Division 1 outdoor track and Field Championships. This beautiful Queen holds the Women's 100 meters Commonwealth Games record for the fastest time at 10.85 seconds. (Wikipedia)

Not only does she have unbelievable speed and jump, but She also just received her master's from Texas Tech University in Interdisciplinary Studies. Okagbare's degree center's around Public Administration, Communications and innovation, and sports marketing. (Wikipedia) Okagbare is Tokoyo bound, and I can't wait to see what all these ladies will do once in Japan.

If you do not know these talented Women, Athletics you will, after reading this piece. Sports is entertainment, and also History in the making. These three women make me proud to be a black woman. Salute Ladies.
