Julien Alfred has done what many thought was impossible—she has won the gold medal in the women’s 100m at the 2024 Paris Olympics, marking the first-ever Olympic medal for Saint Lucia! Competing against some of the best sprinters in the world, Alfred’s incredible performance left everyone in awe.
Running on a wet track at the Stade de France, Alfred clocked in at a blazing 10.72 seconds, a new national record for Saint Lucia. From the very start, Alfred took the lead and maintained it throughout the race, demonstrating her exceptional speed and determination.
American favorite Sha’Carri Richardson, known for her explosive finishes, tried to close the gap in the final meters but couldn’t overtake Alfred, finishing with the silver at 10.87 seconds. Another American, Twanisha Terry, captured the bronze with a time of 10.92 seconds.
Julien Alfred’s victory is a defining moment not just for her, but for her entire country. Saint Lucia now has its first Olympic gold medalist, and the world is witnessing the rise of a new sprinting superstar.
