Sanya Richards-Ross

Sanya Richards-Ross, the fastest American woman in history at 400 meters, became the first American woman in 28 years, and only the 2nd in history, to be crowned Olympic Champion over 400m at the 2012 Games in London. Surging past her competitors in the last 50 meters of the race, Richards-Ross claimed her crown as 400 meter queen in dramatic fashion.

The London games also saw Sanya become one of the most decorated female track and field Olympians of all time by winning her 4th gold medal after anchoring the 4x400m relay team to gold for the 3rd consecutive time.

Most recently, Sanya was featured on her first magazine cover on the August 2013 issue of Women’s Running and her reality show Sanya’s Glam and Gold premiered on WeTV.
