World's fastest man in history Usain Bolt has glowing things to say about Sha'carri Richardson as the current face of track and field.

Jamaica's track legend Usain Bolt has only positive reviews about the world's fastest woman Sha'Carri Richardson, on her recent success on and off track.

After winning the world 100m title in Budapest last year, Richardson has been the face of the sport alongside Noah Lyles, and it pleases Bolt to know that the sport is now doing well with athletes visibility since he retired.

"Everybody is different. But I think she brings a different spice to track and field. And sometimes sports need someone like that to give the energy," said the greatest sprinter in athletics history.

Richardson is currently the most famous and influential track and field athlete whose electrifying personality on the track, during interviews, and external recognition she brings were some of the attributes Bolt portrayed in transcending the sport.

Most importantly, just like the multiple world record holder, the American track queen has found a way to deliver jaw-dropping speed performances on the track with her external fame, which has seen her bag mouth-watering deals with multi-billion dollar companies.

Richardson leads as the undisputed face of track and field for the next decade, and if she's able to replicate her Budapest performance at the Paris Olympic Games and subsequent championships, then her journey into legendary status just like Bolt has only begun.
