Olympic champion Julien Alfred added another cap to her feather with latest achievement.
Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred continues to defy odds, just two years after coming to the spotlight.
Little was known of the St. Lucia’s finest but her emergence has brought about fierce rivalry to sprint scene with the sprint-mad USA athletes Sha’Carri Richardson and Gabby Thomas.
Olympics remain the most prestigious sporting event on the planet but which African nations have won the most medals at the Games?
Julien Alfred, the Olympic 200m silver medallist, has steadily carved her place in history with an unexpected NCAA move, dominating short sprints with a combination of raw speed and relentless determination. While her rise has been spectacular, this begs the question what truly sets her apart?
Recently, Julien Alfred moved a step closer to greatness and added another layer of achievement to her track career by obliterating the NCAA 400m record. She stepped beyond her usual sprinting range at the Tiger Paw Invitational in Clemson, South Carolina.
“Julien Alfred breaks the St. Lucian 400m Indoor Record in Clemson, clocking a time of 52.97s at the Tiger Paw Invitational. She now holds National Records in the 60m, 100m, 200m, 300m & 400m,” Track & Field post on X platform.

No American woman holds all the national records across multiple sprint distances like she does. Her latest glory signifies her determination to become a multitalented sprinter for 60m-400m races. This only adds fire to the already existing rivalry with world 100m champion Sha’Carri Richardson, who she beat to the Olympic title in France.
Gabby Thomas won three gold medals in Paris; individually in the 200m, and alongside her teammates in the 4x100m relay and 4x400m relay, in which they ran an American record and the second-fastest time ever. The 28-year-old beat Alfred to the 200m gold but it might not be easy for the American as Alfred plots big in the specialty.
