Sha’Carri Richardson makes history yet again as she becomes oldest female gymnast to win all around olympic gold
Olympic 100m bronze medalist Melissa Jefferson will return to her hometown of Georgetown, Washington DC, on October 12 for a grand homecoming celebration .
The event, which promises to be a day of festivities and pride, will feature a parade and a community-wide celebration, bringing together friends, family and fans from across the country to celebrate the star athlete.
Jefferson, who captured the world’s attention by clinching a bronze medal in the 100-meter dash at the recent Olympic Games, has since continued to shine on the global stage.
Her most significant achievement came when she secured a gold medal as part of the U.S. 4×100 meter relay team.
This gold, her first Olympic win, came on the heels of her personal triumph in the individual 100-meter dash, where she finished third behind Sha’Carri Richardson, who took silver, and Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia, who claimed gold.
