Olympic champion Julien Alfred celebrated her 25th birthday in spectacular fashion on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, by powering to victory in the women’s 100 meters at the Oslo Diamond League. Competing at the historic Bislett Games in Norway, the Saint Lucian sprinting star dominated the field to clock a wind-assisted 10.76 seconds, marking her fourth consecutive outdoor victory of the season.
The birthday triumph in Oslo comes just six days after Alfred secured a dominant 200-meter victory in 21.93 seconds at the Diamond League meeting in Rome on June 4. Speaking after her race in Norway, the Paris 2024 Olympic gold medallist expressed confidence in her current form, stating that she is healthy, trusting herself more, and genuinely enjoying the high level of competition. The win marks a flawless start to her summer campaign as she continues to cement her status as one of the most dominant forces in global track and field.
Back home, the milestone double-celebration was acknowledged by the Ministry of Education, Youth Development, Sports, and Digital Transformation, which issued an official statement extending birthday greetings on behalf of the government and people of Saint Lucia. The ministry highlighted Alfred’s role as Saint Lucia’s Senior Sportswoman of the Year and emphasized her ongoing impact as a major role model for the nation’s youth. With her latest performance on European soil, the Olympic champion continues to build on the historic legacy she established in Paris.
