Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred stunned favourite Sha'Carri Richardson to win the Olympic women's 100m gold medal on Saturday, etching her name into history to claim the Caribbean nation's first ever medal at the Games.
Richardson, the reigning world champion over 100m, had been hotly tipped to become the first American to win the coveted Olympic crown since Gail Devers in 1996. Alfred's gold gave St. Lucia their first ever medal of any colour at an Olympics. The island nation only began competing at the Games in 1996.
