Sha'Carri Richardson gets silver in women's 100M in shocking race #Paris2024 #ParisOlympics

The fastest woman in the world isn’t Sha’Carri Richardson or Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. It’s Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred.

Alfred shocked the world by winning the women’s 100 final at the Paris Olympics in rainy conditions at Stade de France. The Saint Lucian sprinter ran a national record 10.72 to win gold.

It's the first ever Olympic medal for Saint Lucia.

"It means a lot to me," Alfred said. "I definitely knew that Saint Lucians would be watching and hoping that they would get their first Olympic gold medal and first Olympic medal. And it came as a gold. I’m sure they are celebrating right now."
