Julien Alfred blazed to a new Meeting record of 10.75s to claim her second Diamond League win in four days in Stockholm.

Olympic champion Julien Alfred is arguably in the best shape of her life, proving it once again after blasting to another win to break a 31-year-old meeting record at the Stockholm Diamond League on Sunday evening.

Competing in her second 100m race of the season, Alfred showed her class apart from the rest of the field, blasting to a well-executed Season's Best (SB) time of 10.75s (0.9) to claim her second Diamond League win in four days.

Her training partner Dina Asher-Smith ran a good race for second in a SB of 10.93s, Marie Josée Ta Lou-Smith also clocked a SB of 11.00s for third, just ahead of Maia McCoy in 11.02s.

Alfred's time is now the second fastest in the world this year behind Melissa Jefferson-Wooden's 10.73s, and it's just 0.03s short of her Paris Olympics-winning personal best of 10.72s.

This shows the Saint Lucian sprint queen is in the best shape and with more progress as the season continues, she's currently the favourite to challenge defending champion Sha'Carri Richardson to the world title in Tokyo this summer.

Alfred is unbeaten in all her races this season, and considering the ease and form she's been competing in this year, that streak looks set to continue for a long time.
