Julien Alfred Wins Zurich 100m in 10.76 Diamond League Final Record After Ta Lou-Smith DQ

The Saint Lucian’s 10.76 capped a return from a mid‑August hamstring scare.

Overview

  • Alfred took the Diamond League 100m title in Zurich in 10.76 seconds, a mark reported as the final’s record.
  • Tia Clayton finished second in 10.84 seconds, missing an automatic World Championships berth.
  • Dina Asher-Smith placed third in 10.94 seconds as she continued her late-season rebound.
  • Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith was disqualified for a false start, ending her bid before the race officially began.
  • The win reinforces Alfred’s form after withdrawing from two August meets and comes as coverage notes no American woman holds the Diamond League final record in the 100m or 200m, with Valarie Allman cited as a U.S. record holder in the discus final.
