In a stunning turn of events at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Julien Alfred from the small Caribbean island nation of Saint Lucia has claimed the title of the fastest woman in the world! Alfred shocked everyone by defeating the heavily favored American sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson in the women’s 100m final, bringing home the first-ever Olympic medal for Saint Lucia—a gold, no less!
Alfred sprinted across the rain-soaked purple track at the Stade de France, finishing with an impressive time of 10.72 seconds, setting a new national record for Saint Lucia. From the moment the gun fired, Alfred took the lead and never looked back, leaving her competitors in the dust.
Despite Richardson’s strong finish in the last stretch, she couldn’t catch up to Alfred’s lightning speed and had to settle for the silver with a time of 10.87 seconds. Fellow American Twanisha Terry secured the bronze with a time of 10.92 seconds.
Julien Alfred’s unexpected victory is not only a monumental achievement for her but also a historic moment for Saint Lucia. The small island nation now proudly celebrates its first Olympic champion, and the world has a new queen of the track.
