Julien Alfred won the Olympic 100 m title at Paris 2024 .

The 23-year-old won the event in a national record time of 10.72 seconds .

Alfred is coached by Edrick Floreal , who also trains Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith and Ireland 's Rhasidat Adeleke .

Alfred 's passion for athletics was diminished by the loss of her father, Julian .

"It's such an amazing feeling [to represent St Lucia ]. Life has changed in so many different ways," Alfred said. "Using what I've done on the track to promote my country, that's life changing. "But also just seeing how much of an impact I've had on so many people's lives - that, to me, is also life changing.".
