Sha'Carri Richardson is preparing for her return to racing on the public stage, and she's not letting the critics get in her way. 

The sprinter, 21, is set to compete at the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday in Eugene, Oregon, but before she hits the track, she's shutting out any negative energy. 

"I wish the people that talk mess about me was cute at least," the athlete wrote on Twitter Thursday. 

In an earlier tweet the same day, Richardson replied to a fan who called out the "obsession" with trying to "break" the athlete's confidence. 

"The love y'all show me, I'll never let the hate overshadow that. Positivity is sooo much greater than negativity," Richardson wrote in response. "That's why God always win and the devil fails."
