15 record-breaking moments you might’ve missed at the Paris Olympics

Athletes representing Saint Lucia and Dominica won their countries’ first-ever Olympic medals.

Julien Alfred, 23, didn’t just win Saint Lucia’s first-ever Olympic medal — she won gold in the 100-meter dash with a blistering time of 10.72 seconds to beat Team USA favorite Sha’Carri Richardson.

After the race, Alfred told reporters, “I feel honored to just be an ambassador for my country.”

She added, “I’m sure they’re celebrating right now. I’m just looking forward to the celebration when I go home with them.”

Alfred later went on to win a silver medal in the 200-meter dash.

Also reaching the podium was triple jumper Thea LaFond, 30, who represented Dominica to win the country’s first Olympic medal.

LaFond won the gold medal after jumping a national record 15.02 meters.

“At this point, every time I step on the track is an honor, bearing the flag is an honor, being Dominican is an honor. Representing a country with only 70,000 people and being out here and getting their first medal, a gold, is an honor. In all things, give thanks,” LaFond said after the race, reports the Olympics.
