Sha’Carri Richardson not about to sit back and keep quiet. Usain Bolt offered up some advice to Richardson, basically saying “train harder,” as well as “be focused and not say too much.” Richardson responded to comments by retired Olympian Usain Bolt, who told The New York Post his fellow sprinter should “train harder” and “not say too much.”

Looks like the message was received.

In an Instagram story Richardson shared a social media post that read:

“Everybody want to give advice in the media but none of them actually take the time to speak to her outside the media. So I feel her. Stop speaking on me when you don’t even speak to me.”

Richardson added, “Good ‘humbling morning to y’all” and “I could not have said it better myself.”

Bolt, who’s won Olympic gold eight times, said, “I would tell Sha’Carri to train harder and to be focused and not say too much … If you talk that big talk, you have to back it up.

“So just train hard and focus on that,” he continued, “and try to come back do it, and then talk about it.”

Looks like everyone agrees with Usain Bolt’s advice, everyone but Sha’Carri.

You would think after eating all that humble pie she’d keep quiet, but guess that’s not happening anytime soon.

Put up or shut up.
