Alfred halted her interview with the media for a while, as she decided to meet her idol. She remarked,

"What! My idol. Never met him. Now is my chance. My heart is pounding. I’ll be right back."

After meeting the former Jamaican legend, Julien Alfred remarked how he inspired her to follow her dreams. In her words,

"I mean, he has been my idol since I was young. I always wanted to be like him, and I went to school in Jamaica for three years, didn't meet him, and now I finally get a chance to meet him. So, it's such an honor."

Usain Bolt is one of the most decorated track and field athletes of all time. The former Jamaican sprinter has won eight Olympic gold medals overall, apart from holding the world records for both the men's 100m and the men's 200m.
