Alfred Wins Third Straight Diamond League Title

Julien Alfred ran 21.79 seconds to win the women’s 200m, her third straight Wanda Diamond League title, and will shift to the 100m next week.

  • On Friday, 20-year-old Australian Cam Myers claimed victory in a chaotic men's 1,500m final at the Diamond League Final in Brussels, defeating Phanuel Kipkosgei Koech while Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen finished fourth.
  • Returning from injury, Ingebrigtsen led from the start before being closed down in the home straight, recording a season's best of 3:30.52.
  • At the 50th edition of the Allianz Memorial Van Damme, Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred powered to victory in the women's 200m, securing her third successive Wanda Diamond League title.
  • Clocking 21.79 seconds, Alfred surged clear over the final 40 metres to finish ahead of American Kayla White and European champion Amy Hunt, who took second and third place respectively.
  • Elsewhere, Emmanouil Karalis capitalized on the absence of world champion Mondo Duplantis—who withdrew citing muscle tightness—to set a new meeting record of 6.12m and win the Diamond Trophy.
