Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia is set to pursue an Olympic sprint double on Tuesday after her historic victory in the women's 100m event. Alfred, who won her semi-final in the 200m with a time of 21.98 seconds, aims to replicate the achievements of Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson-Herah, who clinched the 100m-200m double in both Rio 2016 and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Alfred's challenge comes from US sprinter Gabrielle Thomas, who posted the fastest semi-final time of 21.86 seconds and holds the season's best of 21.78 seconds. 

Alfred’s achievement marks the first Olympic medal for Saint Lucia, adding to the island nation’s growing legacy in track and field.

In what promises to be a gripping contest, Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Britain's Josh Kerr will face off in the men’s 1500m final at the Stade de France. The rivalry has been intense, with Kerr finishing second behind Ingebrigtsen in the semi-finals and having bested him at the World Championships last year. Both athletes have been vocal, with Ingebrigtsen critiquing Kerr's participation in events and Kerr eager to prove his mettle on the track. Kerr, who won bronze in Tokyo, is prepared for what he predicts will be one of the "most vicious and hardest" finals seen in recent years.

Both athletes are guaranteed medals, with Khelif facing Thailand’s Janjaem Suwannapheng in the 66-kilogram division semi-finals.
