The Texan won the 100m race at the American trials in Eugene, Oregon, in a world best time of 10.71 seconds.

The 24-year-old world champion will be competing under the five rings for the first time. Three years ago, she missed out on taking part in the Games in Tokyo due to a ban following cannabis use.

Alongside Richardson, Melissa Jefferson and Twanisha Terry will represent the USA in the 100m in France's capital.
