Athletics: Julien Alfred (LCA) wins women’s 100m!
Not the ideal conditions for the athletes here at the Stade de France for the women’s 100m final – it is absolutely pouring it down with rain.
Mujinga Kambundji (SUI), Marie-Josée Ta Lou-Smith (CIV), Tia Clayton (JAM), Melissa Jefferson (USA), Julien Alfred (LCA), Sha’Carri Richardson (USA), Daryll Neita (GBR), and Twanisha Terry (USA) are your finalists.
It’s a start-to-finish win for Julien Alfred! It was fast, and she never looked like losing it!
A St. Lucian national record 10.72 and their first ever medal in any sport!
Sha’Carri Richardson wins silver in 10.87 and Melissa Jedderson bronze in 10.92.
Alfred is in tears of joy. It’s sinking in. Richardson goes over to hug her and pat her on the back.
She’s now taking a well-deserved lap of honour, with the entire stadium cheering her on.
