Julien Alfred has looked unbeatable this year, picking up her momentum at the Paris 2024 Olympic 100m final going, but Gatlin has explained why Fraser-Pryce is the only athlete that could stop her tracks.
Julien Alfred’s explosive rise in the sprints has even left track legends like Justin Gatlin both "excited and scared" — and he believes only one woman might have the tools to stop her.
Alfred has been exploding this season, and she kept her good momentum going as made a big statement with her opening 200m of the season, running 21.88 (0.2m/s) at the Tom Jones Memorial in Gainesville, Florida, on Friday (18 April).
That performance is the second-fastest wind legal outdoor women’s 200m ever recorded this early in the year and is just 0.02 off Alfred’s own national record set in London last July.

'I Don't Know What He's Become' – Harambee Stars Coach Benni McCarthy Breaks Silence on Jose Mourinho
Benni McCarthy has shared mixed feelings about the changes he sees in Jose Mourinho.
Speaking on his Ready Set Go podcast Reflecting on Alfred’s recent 200m performance, Gatlin didn’t hide his amazement.
"I'm super impressed," he said. "I sat there and watched her run coming off the turn, and nothing in my mind indicated that it was going to be 21. I was going to say 22 mid, maybe 22.5, 22.3, something like that. But when the clock stopped at 21.8, I was like, 'Oh okay — this is what we’re dealing with right now.'"
It wasn’t just the time that caught Gatlin’s eye — it was the manner of the run.
"She did it with so much strength. It wasn't necessarily about frequency; you could just see the power in her run. It was almost like a bounce to it — bow, bow, bow," he explained.

Sabastian Sawe Gives Kenya Another London Title as Marathon Legend Kipchoge Stumbles
Kenya dominated the London Marathon as Sabastian Sawe powered to victory, extending the country’s incredible legacy on the global stage.
"If she has a lot of speed endurance and then she starts to come down to a speed — starts cycling more and spinning those wheels — I’m kind of excited and also scared to see exactly what it would look like for her to run her 100 meters."
As Alfred sharpens both her top-end speed and her endurance, Gatlin predicts fireworks at the 2025 World Championships in Japan. And he already has a dream matchup in mind.
"What I would love to see at World Championships in Japan this year is a legend like Shelly-Ann [Fraser-Pryce], who has been the GOAT in the 100 meters and the short sprints, and the reigning Olympic champion who has come into the world of professional sprinting — a clash between those two to see exactly what that looks like."

At 38, most sprinters have long stepped off the track, but not Jamaica’s “Mommy Rocket.” The queen of consistency reminded the world exactly who she is at Velocity Fest 17 in Kingston, blazing through the 100m in 10.94 seconds against a strong field.

5 Bitter Lessons from Junior Starlets' Failure to Qualify for 2025 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup
Kenya fell short against Cameroon in a tough qualifier, missing out on a second straight U17 World Cup appearance.
When asked how anyone could even hope to match Alfred’s power and strength, Gatlin admitted it would take something extraordinary right from the blocks.
"I mean, the only way I can think you really could combat that is if you have a rocket start," he said. "Because you get out with someone like a Julien and she's able to produce those kinds of times — and she has that strength also — that's a tall order, dog. That's a hard race right there to win."
With Alfred rapidly evolving into one of the sport’s most dominant forces, Gatlin’s analysis makes one thing crystal clear: a sprinting legend like Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce may be the only athlete capable of standing in her way.
