Julien Alfred will aim at the 200m meeting record when she lines at the Hanzekovic Memorial in Zagreb.

Saint Lucia’s golden girl Julien Alfred will eye the 200m Meeting Record when she makes her 2025 World Athletics Continental Tour Gold debut at the Hanzekovic Memorial in Zagreb on Saturday (24).

The Olympic 100m champion who has had a fantastic start to the 2025 season, will be gunning to extend her winning streak and aim at the meeting record of 22.04s when she lines up against Spain’s Jael Bestue and USA’s Deajah Stevens.

Last month at the Tom Jones Invitational in Gainesville, Alfred clocked a blistering world-leading time of 21.88s to win her 200m season opener, taking down a strong field of Nigeria’s sprint sensation Favour Ofili in second in 22.34s, and USA’s Tamari Davis third in 22.37s.

More impressively, her time was just 0.02 of her PB ran to win 200m silver medal at the Paris Olympic Games.

After her world-leading race, Alfred said it was an expected result and was looking ahead to the rest of the season.

“Based off my coach and what I’ve been working on, he did say I’ll be around there. However, I’m just grateful to be healthy and looking forward to what the season holds,” she said.

With a long season ahead and her fierce rivals, Sha’Carri Richardson and Shericka Jackson, still struggling to find their form, Alfred will be focused on achieving another outstanding performance in Zagreb as she continues preparations ahead of the World Championships in Tokyo.
