While Richardson stands out as the most influential and famous track and field athlete, Belair is known for her intriguing personality and being the longest-reigning WWE Raw Women's Champion.
)
Despite the differences in their various sports, Richardson shares some things in common with Belair, which this article highlights below.
)
1 - Track success
Richardson competes in the 100m and 200m. The 23-year-old rose to fame in 2019 as a freshman at Louisiana State University when she ran 10.75 seconds to break the 100m collegiate record at the NCAA Division I Championships.
)
Her first world success came at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, where she blazed to the 100m title in a record of 10.65s, thus earning the bragging rights of the world's fastest woman. She would also anchor Team USA to the 4x100m gold medal in a championship record of 41.03 seconds.

)
Belair first attended the University of South Carolina, then Texas A&M University, before going back home to Knoxville to complete her college career at the University of Tennessee, where she became All-SEC and All-American as well as being named to the SEC's academic honor roll in 2011 and 2012.
2 - Fashion enthusiasts
Belair is known for her signature ponytail, which she often uses against her opponents as a weapon. The former RAW Women's Champion is one of the most creative stars as she makes all her ring gear herself, including some of her most iconic looks at big events like WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble.
)
"I love fashion. I want to eventually get more into the fashion game, creating my fashion line one day," she said when asked about her dreams outside the ring.

Their fashion statements, electric personalities, and standout appearances on any occasion are similar, making them easily mistaken as sisters.
4 - Black Girl Magic
Belair is one of two women to win at a WrestleMania main event, and her 420-day reign as Raw Women's Champion stands as the longest in the championship history.
She won the 2021 Women's Royal Rumble match, becoming the second African-American after The Rock to attain this feat. In 2023, she became the longest-reigning Raw Women's Champion with her reign of 420 days. Also, has the longest reign of any WWE women's championship since 2006, thus making her the longest-reigning women's champion of the modern era.
)
Her reign would break a couple of other records within WWE, including the longest-reigning black world champion (male or female) and the longest-reigning African-American for any singles championship.
For Richardson, her World Championship feat in Budapest made her USA's first 100m world champion since the late Tori Bowie won the title in 2017. Her world title-winning time of 10.65s is the joint-fastest in the world in 2023, and she clocked the most sub-11s time of the season (12).
)
For her outstanding feat, the Dallas City board declared November 10 the Sha'Carri Richardson Day, and the Dallas Independent School District (ISD) Board of Trustees named the track at the John Kincaide Stadium in Dallas, Texas Sha'Carri Richardson Track.
