Alfred’s victory is a monumental achievement, both personally and nationally. Her outstanding performance in the final, characterized by a quick start and consistent speed, showcased her exceptional talent and dedication.
World Athletics, the international governing body for track and field, has confirmed that Alfred will receive $50,000 (Ksh 6.5 million) as prize money for her gold medal. This financial reward highlights the significance of her accomplishment and recognizes her athletic excellence.
The Paris 2024 Olympics were notable for the absence of Jamaican star Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, who withdrew before the semi-finals, leaving room for new stars like Alfred to shine.
