Julien Alfred Crowned 100m Diamond League Champion in Zurich

Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred has been crowned the women's 100m Diamond League champion after a stunning performance at the Weltklasse Zurich final. The 22-year-old stormed to victory with a blistering time of 10.76s, solidifying her status as one of the world's elite sprinters.

The race, held at the Letzigrund Stadium, was a showcase of top-tier talent, but Alfred's form proved too powerful for her competitors. She secured the win with a decisive sprint to the finish line, leaving her rivals in her wake. The victory marks a significant achievement for Alfred, adding the prestigious Diamond League title to her impressive list of accomplishments, which includes a gold medal from the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Jamaica's Tia Clayton ran a strong race, finishing in second place with a time of **10.84s**. The battle for third was also fiercely contested, with Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith claiming the final podium spot with a time of **10.94s**. The race was not without drama, as Ivorian sprint star Marie Josée Ta Lou-Smith was unfortunately disqualified for a false start.

Alfred's triumph in Zurich is a testament to her consistent performance throughout the season and her ability to deliver on the biggest stages.
