Julien Alfred as another opportunity in Zagreb to make a statement ahead of the World Championships.

Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred will make her 2025 World Athletics Continental Tour Gold debut when she lines up for the 200m at the Hanzekovic Memorial in Zagreb on Saturday May 24.

The St Lucian sprinter has already made a strong start to her year, coming within 0.02 of her PB when clocking 21.88 in Gainesville last month.

She’ll start as the overwhelming favourite in Zagreb – and could even take aim at the meeting record of 22.04 – when she lines up against the likes of Spain’s Jael Bestue accordin to World Athletics.

Alfred, 23, has had a fantastic start to the 2025 season and will be gunning to extend her winning streak.

Last month at the Tom Jones Invitational in Gainesville, Alfred clocked a blistering world-leading time of 21.88s to win her 200m season opener, to send sockin waves to her rivals that she means business in 2025.

After her world-leading race, Alfred said it was an expected result and was looking ahead to the rest of the season.

Her medal was the first-ever Olympic medal for Saint Lucia. She then won a silver in the 200m. Alfred also won the gold medal in the 60m at the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships.

Alfred was a silver medalist in the 100m at the 2022 Commonwealth Games. She is the joint North American indoor record holder for the 60m, and was the first woman in NCAA history to break the seven-second barrier over the 60m.

Alfred is a three-time individual NCAA Division I champion.
