There are tons of moments to remember from the 2024 Paris Olympics, but there are 10 that stand out above the rest when looking back at these thrilling Games.
The 2024 Paris Olympics has come and gone, but not without tons of great moments that will last a lifetime for these athletes and all those in their countries watching from home. Several moments stood out above the rest, whether they were viral videos, athletes making history or simply team victories that led to emotional medal ceremonies.
The Caribbean island of St. Lucia, home to just 175,000 residents, had never won an Olympic gold medal before entering the Paris Games. However, their best hope came in the form of women’s sprinter Julien Alfred. Alfred was pitted against the USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson in the 100-meter dash, an event the American won at the World Championships earlier this year. However, it was Alfred who maintained her great start and defeated Richardson, who took home silver, to win gold for St. Lucia.
It was one of the best heartwarming stories coming out of Paris during the Games, as videos came flooding in of St. Lucian natives crying and cheering for Alfred, as she brought home the country’s first medal.
