Olympic champion Julien Alfred celebrated her 25th birthday with a win on Wednesday, June 10, at the Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway. This was her second Diamond League victory in two weeks, her fourth straight win this year and her sixth-fastest 100m time in any conditions.
Alfred ran a wind-assisted 10.76 seconds to finish ahead of Tokyo 2025 200m silver medallist Amy Hunt. The race had a tailwind of 3.2 metres per second. Hunt finished in 10.99 seconds, the only other runner under 11 seconds, while New Zealand’s Zoe Hobbs took third with 11.03.
Last week in Rome, Alfred beat World champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden in the 200m. Her win on Wednesday was her fourth straight outdoor victory, following two wins in April at the Texas Invitational.
“I am healthy, and I am happy to get the win here,” Alfred said. “I would say I am trusting myself a lot more. And I am having so much more fun. Before I came here, my mental coach said to me: “When you be yourself, it is the most powerful thing that you can do.” And I think I learn more and more from my experiences.
“As long as I come in the finish healthy, I am happy about it. I worked very hard to get to this point in my life. Just being here, racing amongst the best athletes in the world, like I said, I am appreciating every chance I get to run.
“I love the competitiveness in the 100m eight now. It keeps me on my toes to go out there and compete and be at my best every single time I line up. So I have no complaints right now.”
