Sandals Resorts, in celebration of the historic performance from Saint Lucian Julien Alfred, offered the Olympian a weeklong, luxury-included vacation at any Sandals of her choice. This, after the sprint champion clocked 10.72s to win gold and the first ever medal for her country at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“This is a historic and extraordinary victory. Winning gold in the women’s 100m not only marks an incredible personal achievement but also stands as a monumental moment for the Saint Lucian community. On behalf of our entire Sandals family, we excitedly celebrate with Julien on this win and we look forward to hosting her on a well-deserved vacation at Sandals,” shared Executive Chairman for Sandals Resorts International, Adam Stewart.
Alfred, in addition to winning at this year’s Olympics, also holds the World Indoor title after securing the gold medal in the 60m at the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Her recent victory in Paris puts her eighth on the all-time list of fastest women’s 100m runners.
Managing Director for Sandals Resorts in the Eastern Caribbean, Winston Anderson also sent heartfelt congratulations to Alfred and shared in his team’s excitement for the golden girl’s triumph, “we are in awe of her achievements and we are thrilled to see her continue to create record-making moments in the future. She has shown all of Saint Lucia and the world what it means to exemplify the true spirit of a champion, and her victory will be remembered for generations to come.”
