Sha'Carri Richardson, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, Elaine Thompson-Herah, and Shericka Jackson. Fans make their choice on who they want to headline a Paris Olympics campaign.

Fans have picked Sha'Carri Richardson and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce ahead of Elaine Thompson-Herah and Shericka Jackson as their best headliners for any Paris 2024 Olympic campaign.

Richardson, the reigning world 100m champion, and Fraser-Pryce highly regarded as one of the greatest athletes in history, if present in Paris, will be two of the biggest track and field stars at the Paris Olympics.

While Richardson will be making her Olympic debut and seen as the most famous and influential athlete, it will be the last dance for the Jamaican track legend who will be hanging her spikes after a glorious career.

Consequently, Thompson-Herah as the defending double Olympic champion, has a chance at becoming the first woman in history to claim double gold medals for a third consecutive time.

Jackson, on the other hand, is tipped as a top contender for the double gold medals and the 200m World Record, as she has the talent to drop super fast times that'll make the headlines.

With these in mind, athletics fans and enthusiasts feel Richardson and Fraser-Pryce are the best fit to headline any Olympic campaign ahead of their rivals Thompson-Herah and Jackson.

In an X post by an athletics fan @trackspice, he asked fans to imagine if they were given the task to select two of the quadruple as headliners for the Olympic Campaign for Paris, who would be their two headliners and why.

Fans will respond with their favourite choices, which were dominated by the world's fastest woman and retiring Fraser-Pryce.

Here are some comments below.

"That’s a hard one but you only need one star from Jamaica. They can argue over who lol. Sha’Carri has such a large fan base, she has to be included," wrote @DrPacoHinton.

"Shelly (Legend Farewell) and Sha’Carri (World Champion)

- Shericka another WC has a strong case but v is a more marketable rivalry and Shelly cannot be left off.

- if Elaine had a better showing at WC I’d put her over ShaCarri," wrote @newman_thinx.

"Shacarri and Shelley Ann. Shacarri is very marketable & is only getting better. Shelley Ann is a legend who kept getting better after becoming a mom and is going to retire after these games," wrote @jenlovessports1

"Sha’Carri and Shericka. Elaine has been underwhelming and Shelly is headed towards retirement. Sha’Carri is electrifying and brings a lot of attention to the sport. Shericka is a monster on the track and we’re watching her close to break the 200m record," wrote @MeekLill.

And here are some of the quotes.
