Alfred Shocks World Champ in Rome
from Barbados News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Saint Lucia’s Julien Alfred just stunned the track in Rome, blitzing reigning World champ Melissa Jefferson-Wooden in the 200m with a blistering 21.93s—her fastest ever and the season’s fastest time. Jefferson-Wooden, fresh off a nine-month break that included a honeymoon in Saint Lucia, came back strong but fell short. Alfred’s win marks her first Diamond League race of the year and signals she’s fully dialed in, already holding the world’s top 200m time. The rivalry? Already heating up for a showdown in the 100m at the Prefontaine Classic on July 4th. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
