Julien Alfred has opened up about her different personalities that will leave many of her fans surprised.
Reigning Olympic champion Julien Alfred continues stunning her fans with her unique personality, from not being a huge fan of social media to being a loner and admitting she does not have 'any friends' when it comes to track and field.
Her personality might come off as weird to people who are yet to interact with her on a personal level. In an interview with The Telegraph, the sprint sensation from Saint Lucia revealed that she loves keeping stuff to herself and is not a huge fan of maintaining relationships especially when it comes to her fellow competitors.
She revealed that one time she might be laughing with a person but when it comes to serious business, she never cares about anything else but getting the job done.

Game recognises game! Usain Bolt predicts 'spectacular' futures for youngsters Kobbie Mainoo, Cole Palmer
Usain Bolt is banking on Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer to make the future of the Premier League interesting, highlighting that they are history makers.
The Olympic 200m silver medallist explained that when competing, she is always focused on accomplishing her goals hence the sudden shift in her mood.
"It's almost like an alter ego. Sometimes I can be just regular, having a little chit-chat like we are now, or a little laugh with somebody and just talking so calmly. But when I'm on the track, I don't talk. I don't have any friends," Julien Alfred revealed.
"I don't care who you are or how good our friendship is outside of track and field, it's just a whole different mindset and I'm just hungry," she added.
Meanwhile, Julien Alfred rose to prominence after stunning reigning world champion Sha'Carri Richardson in the women's 100m at Paris Olympic Games.
At the starting line, no one knew much about Julien Alfred and in fact, Sha'Carri Richardson was the favourite to win the race. However, Julien Alfred had made a statement of intent in the semifinal and was not going to let her effort go up in flames.
She crossed the finish line first in 10.72 seconds ahead of Richardson who came in second in a time of 10.87 seconds. Melissa Jefferson completed the podium in that race. The world indoor champion was not done making waves even after becoming Saint Lucia's first Olympic medallist.
