Sha'Charri Richardson gets surprise silver Olympic medal after being beaten by St. Lucia runner

U.S. runner Sha'Carri Richardson got a surprise silver on Saturday after being narrowly beaten by Saint Lucia runner Julien Alfred.

Alfred romped in the rain to the 100-meter title in 10.72 seconds to bring the first-ever Olympic medal to her island country of Saint Lucia.

Racing one lane to the left of Richardson, and with water from a fast-moving storm puddling on the purple track in the Stade de France, Alfred got off to a fantastic start, then powered through the rain and beat Richardson by .15 seconds - about three body lengths.
