Sha'Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman: American power 'couple' wear matching outfits in training as they practice block starts
Famous American power 'couple' Sha'Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman were spotted in training together wearing matching outfits as they practiced their block starts.
The speedsters rumoured to be in a relationship are part of the Star Athletics Group in Florida, under the guidance of head coach Dennis Mitchell.
In video footage released online, Richardson and Coleman wore the same black Nike training gear as they lined up beside each other to practice their block starts.
Also in the video are Paris Olympic silver medallist Kenny Bednarek, Courtney Lindsey, Kyree King, and Aaron Brown.

The pair sparked dating rumours since the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, and since then, they are mostly seen at the same location together.
At the Paris Olympics, Richardson claimed the 100m silver medal behind Julien Alfred and anchored Team USA's 4x100m relay squad to the gold medal. Meanwhile, Coleman had an Olympics to forget as a poor baton exchange between him and Bednarek in the 4x100m final led to the American squad being disqualified and not challenging for a medal.
Following the conclusion of track and field sport in Paris, Pulse Sports Nigeria reported that Richardson and Coleman arrived at the US men's basketball gold medal match against hosts France and left together. Previous seeming shows of support and subtle romantic gestures point to them being a couple, despite neither confirming nor denying the non-stop rumours.
