Julien Alfred stormed to the Olympic women’s 100m title at Paris 2024 to make history as St Lucia’s first ever medallist at a Games.
As the rain teemed down at a raucous Stade de France, Alfred dominated the final and took victory by a clear margin in a national record 10.72 seconds.
American world champion Sha’Carri Richardson took silver in 10.87, with compatriot Melissa Jefferson (10.92) third.
Great Britain’s Daryll Neita finished four-hundredths of a second off the podium in fourth, crossing the line in 10.96.
Neita produced the best finish by a British female athlete in an Olympic sprint final for 64 years but that will be of little consolation in her pursuit of a first individual global medal.
