Can France be still racist after all these years? Black athletes delayed

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and Sha-Carri Richardson faced a setback even before they set foot on the tracks for the 100m semi-final! According to footage surfacing on the internet, it was initially Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce trying to come through to her designated warm-up area. In a shocking turn of events, the Jamaican athlete was denied entry by the security guards present at the venue.   They both drove in their own vehicles.

They informed the Jamaican sprinter to go around and enter the venue through a different gate. According to reports, this happened due to a change of rules that was unfortunately not communicated with the athletes. Reactions from Fraser-Pryce also revealed that the athletes have been using the same gate to enter the area in the past. Talking to the officials, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce looked significantly dissatisfied with the entire fiasco. But what might have led to such a situation?

Because neither woman was staying in the Olympic Village, they were turned down.  Another reason provided wasa that an official had been "hit"by the one of the buses and the rules for gate entry changed.
