Saint Lucian sprinter who became her nation's first Olympic gold medallist, winning the 100m at Paris 2024 and setting new national records.
Julien Alfred is from Saint Lucia and made history as her country's first Olympic gold medallist when she won the women's 100m at the Paris Olympics in 2024. Her extraordinary performance — achieved after she transferred to the University of Texas — produced one of the Games' most emotional moments, with an entire small island nation celebrating a historic achievement. Alfred returned to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo as the reigning Olympic 100m champion, one of the headline names in a stacked women's sprint field, continuing to build on the achievement that made her Saint Lucia's first-ever Olympic gold medallist.
