The wind readings really spoiled her party. This girl is fast. Runs three races in a day, wins all and doesn't even seem that tired. Congratulations Alfred

The BOWERMAN is hers I'm sure. She earned it!

[@tascrphs]

I'm not a track expert, but i can't imagine how fast Julien would run when her mechanics is optimized. She has so so much down-force power that a slight transfer of the power to forward acceleration and propulsion could probably add another 1/10 of a sec to her time... Can't wait to see her turn pro...

[@dmvbay2535]

I've always said mechanics are overrated. The said the same thing about McKenzie Long, Abby Steiner, Andre Degrasse, etc. These people never changed their mechanics but continue to do well out there.

[@AllInTheGame01]

Shame about that 2.5m/s tailwind, converts to 21.93 (0.0) :( Julien leans a little too early at the line, now needs to go Pro, rest up the rest of June, then run 2-3 DL Races in July in preparation for the WC in mid-August. Good run by McKenzie, Kevona & Jacious. Kevona should make JAM's 4-woman WC 200m Team, and very curious as to how McKenzie & Jacious perform @USAs! Talitha Diggs needs to give up running both the 200/400m at big meets like this like Adeleke smartly did!

[@unknownx7252]

Ok, I also thought she was leaning early.

[@dennisrobinson8008]

She early leaned indoor too! She'll be better just not leaning until she perfect it in practice.

[@sweetspotdrummer]

"Blazing, 🔥🔥🔥blazing": That's Julien Alfred on the tracks. At least one more "legal" record in the relay and the "wind cried" Julien a little too much.

[@bibi7762]

Future Olympic champ! 100%!

[@Johnmag1976]

Julien Alfred will never behave as a star .she will remain the little girl who left her family to go live poorly in Jamaica. She got her natural talent and speed perfected there. Julien's évolution has been steady. Her 3 finals in 2023 Budapest were a little disappointment to me. But Paris will be better. I think 200 meters will be her best result even if Shericka will be there again and Gaby Thomas will be dedicated fully to her training . 200 final will be at world record level Go Julien !@! Bravo from France ❤

[@nicolecooper1569]

Can’t wait to see Julien as a pro. Also….. Is Favour injured?

[@ThunderJuice]

Julien is cursing the wind.

[@chuckdeuces911]

Maybe, +2.5 helps a lot more than you think. She only beat the record by 0.07 if the wind were legal. If the wind were 0.0 she would have ran 21.89 and if by miracle it would have been exactly 2.0 she would have 21.75 if everything would have worked the same. The wind gave her the fastest all times 200m, that's more than fine.

[@kauze_]

@@dmvbay2535 Just because she’s never run that fast doesn’t mean it was a good race. I don’t know why you’re trying to make it seem bigger than it is. I say it was a bad bend because she’s usually far ahead after the bend, and she had to work hard to come back from this one. She could’ve easily beaten Mackenzie Long here. She almost lost to Sears. Barely got third by 0.02s. She has had a great season obviously, no one is disputing that.
