Julien Alfred, the first St. Lucian to win an Olympic medal, was welcomed back to her home island with a grand celebration. Known affectionately as 'JuJu,' the 23-year-old sprinter was honored with a day dedicated to her on September 27.
Alfred, who clinched a gold medal in the 100-meter sprint and a silver in the 200-meter sprint at the 2024 Paris Olympics, expressed her gratitude to her supporters, including her mother, coach, and the community that rallied behind her.
