Injured in training
Julien Alfred from St Lucia won from start to finish.
She became the 1st St Luciannto win a deal at the Olympics - gold to boot.
For the record St Lucia is the only Caribbean territory to have two Nobel Prize winners - William Arthur Lewis (January 23, 1915 – June 15, 1991) who won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics in 1979; and Derek Walcott who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1992.

Tough lil island.

Ironically Dominica also won her first medal, also gold in the Women’s Triple Jump- Thea LaFond.. Jamaican Shanieka Ricketts
took the silver and bronze went to American Jasmine Moore.

Thanks. Is that from her officially? So many reports online are saying she missed the team bus and could not get in tulipsandroses Aug 2024 #4

Heard that on local TV but have since also seen reports about problems with security at warm up track. malaise Aug 2024 #6

It's sort of both. Formally, she didn't start and that equals "withdrew." Igel Aug 2024 #5

Thanks. I hope she'll be able to participate in the relays tulipsandroses Aug 2024 #7
