Julien Alfred Just Beat Melissa Jefferson-Wooden Again!

Julien Alfred delivered another major statement in Rome, defeating reigning world champion Melissa Jefferson Wooden in one of the most anticipated women's 200m races of the season. Entering the Golden Gala with world-leading form, Alfred showcased her trademark strength over the final meters, powering past Jefferson-Wooden to win in 21.93 seconds. But did Alfred prove she owns the 200m right now, or was Jefferson Wooden simply lacking race fitness after a long break from individual competition? The rivalry is far from settled. Jefferson-Wooden remains one of the fastest women in history, while Alfred continues evolving from Olympic 100m champion into a complete sprint force. #JulienAlfred #MelissaJeffersonWooden #DiamondLeague #RomeGoldenGala #trackandfieldlife
