Sandals Resorts offers Julien Alfred a week-long stay at any Sandals property of his choice

To celebrate St. Lucien Julian Alfred’s historic performance, Sandals Resorts is offering the Olympian a one-week luxury getaway to stay at any Sandals hotel of her choice. The sprint champion won gold in 10.72 seconds at the 2024 Paris Olympics, earning her country its first medal.

Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International, said: “This is a historic and extraordinary victory. Winning gold in the women’s 100m not only marks an incredible personal achievement, but also a milestone moment for the St. Lucia community. On behalf of the entire Sandals family, we are excited to celebrate this victory with Julien, and we look forward to providing her with a well-deserved vacation at Sandals.”

In addition to her win at this year’s Olympics, Alfred also won the World Indoor Championships by winning the 60m gold medal at the 2024 World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Her recent victory in Paris puts her eighth on the list of the fastest female 100m runners of all time.

Winston Anderson, Managing Director of Sandals Resorts Eastern Caribbean, also extended his heartfelt congratulations to Alfred and shared the team’s excitement for the gold medalist’s victory, “We are in awe of her accomplishment and we are excited to see her continue to set records in the future. She has shown St. Lucia and the world what it means to embody the true spirit of a champion and her victory will be remembered for generations to come.”
