Even though Richardson was disappointing in her return to the track, she had a trackside interview with NBC that went viral on social media. Richardson said that she was "not upset at myself at all" despite the ninth-place finish.
"This is one race," Richardson said. "I'm not done. You know what I'm capable of. Count me out if you want to. Talk all the s--t you want. Because I'm here to stay. I'm not done. I'm the sixth fastest woman in this game ever. Can't nobody ever take that from me."

Richardson won the 100-meter dash on the same track at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials back in June before she was handed a 30-day suspension that kept her off the U.S. team as part of the relay pool, even though her suspension would have been served by the time of the 4x100 race.
