Olympic champion delivers another statement performance, clocking a wind-assisted 10.76 seconds in the women’s 100m at Bislett Games
Olympic gold medallist Julien Alfred continued her remarkable run of form by claiming victory in the women’s 100 metres at the Oslo Diamond League 2026, producing a powerful finish to secure the title at the iconic Bislett Stadium.
The Saint Lucian sprint star crossed the line in 10.76 seconds, a wind-assisted mark that highlighted her dominance despite a less-than-perfect start from the blocks. Once into her stride, Alfred accelerated smoothly through the latter half of the race and quickly separated herself from the chasing pack.
Britain’s Amy Hunt finished second after another impressive sub-11-second performance, but she was unable to match Alfred’s top-end speed in the closing metres. The victory adds another major result to Alfred’s growing collection of Diamond League successes and strengthens her position as one of the favourites heading into the season’s biggest competitions.
Race Result – Women’s 100m
1st – Julien Alfred (Saint Lucia): 10.76s (wind-assisted)
2nd – Amy Hunt (Great Britain)
Alfred’s Winning Momentum Continues
The Oslo triumph comes at a time when Alfred is enjoying some of the best form of her career. The Olympic champion has consistently delivered on the international circuit this season, combining explosive acceleration with exceptional finishing strength.
Her latest victory was another reminder of why she remains one of the most feared sprinters in women’s athletics. Even after a relatively slow reaction from the blocks, Alfred remained composed and produced a commanding finish to secure a comfortable win.
With the Diamond League season entering a crucial phase, the 24-year-old’s performance sends a clear message to her rivals. If she maintains this level of consistency, she will enter the major championships later this year as one of the athletes to beat.
The Oslo Diamond League once again showcased world-class sprinting, but on this occasion the spotlight belonged firmly to Julien Alfred, whose combination of speed, confidence and championship pedigree proved decisive. :::
