Julien Alfred Blasts 21.51 to Become No.3 All-Time 🚀 Julien Alfred produced a sensational 200m performance at the Meeting International d’Athlétisme Herculis EBS in Monaco, storming to victory in 21.51 with a +0.9 m/s wind ⚡ In a race featuring the three fastest women of the year, Alfred powered away from the field and smashed the meeting record, world lead, and Saint Lucian national record. The Olympic 100m champion now moves to No.3 on the world all-time list, with only Florence Griffith Joyner and Shericka Jackson ever running faster over 200m 🔥 Alfred said afterwards that she had been preparing for this kind of race for a long time, and she did not even realize how fast it was until she crossed the line and saw the clock. That was why her reaction was so emotional, almost like her Olympic celebration all over again. Adaejah Hodge, who came in as the world leader with 21.68, finished second in 21.76, while Olympic 200m champion Gabby Thomas placed third in 21.84 in her first Diamond League race in two years.
