Sha’Carri Richardson is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with on the track, but there is also Allyson Felix, an 11-time Olympic medalist and 7-time Olympic champion, making her the most decorated athlete in track and field history.

Felix, who just competed in her fifth Olympic Games in Tokyo, made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday to discuss receiving her latest medals and the launch of her new footwear brand, Saysh.

When asked about Richardson being disqualified from the Olympics due to a positive marijuana test and also coping with the death of her biological mother, the California native gave a candid and graceful response.

“I hope that she's just supported. I hope that people rally around her,” Felix told Stephen A. Smith as he guest hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live. Obviously she has a great personality, and she’s brought a lot of attention to the sport. I think she’ll be in the sport for a very long time.”

"I think just more than anything, for all athletes, there’s so much that goes into it — we just, you know, give her the support that she needs,” she added.

Richardson subsequently took to her Instagram account to share some thoughts on saying kind things about others publicly.

“Encouraging words on tv shows are just as real as well nothing at all,” the 21-year-old captioned a photo on her Instagram story.

She then continued in her Instagram story, posting “Be a good person, but don’t waste time proving it.”

Twitter wasted no time in checking Richardson for throwing shade at Felix.
