'So, so proud': St. Lucia celebrates Alfred's historic Olympic gold

Castries, Saint Lucia - Saint Lucia celebrated Sunday after sprinter Julien Alfred stormed to victory in the women's 100m in Paris for the tiny Caribbean nation's historic first Olympic medal.

Alfred upstaged the much-hyped American world champion Sha'Carri Richardson on Saturday, clinching a stunning win in 10.72sec.

In the Saint Lucian capital Castries, the 23-year-old became an instant hero.
