It seems the track power couple is on fire today. Noah Lyles and his Jamaican girlfriend, Junelle Bromfield, showcased their prowess today, making their respective countries proud. Lyles led Team USA to victory in the 4x100m relay, while Bromfield’s stellar performance on May 5th in the 4x400m relay secured Jamaica’s win, despite facing setbacks at the USATF Bermuda Grand Prix last month.

In April 2024, Bromfield secured fifth place with a time of 54.09 seconds, while fellow Jamaican Stacey-Ann Williams clinched the top spot with 51.71. Despite the chase from athletes like Rushell Clayton, who pursued Bromfield vigorously in the final 50 meters, finishing sixth with a time of 54.48, Bromfield fell short. Nonetheless, her recent performance highlighted her spirit.

Panam Sports shared a video on Instagram showing Bromfield leading Jamaica in the 4x400m relay. Finally, Jamaica secured victory in the women’s 4x100m heat at the World Relays with a time of 3:28:54, beating India in second place with 3:29:53 and Brazil in third with 3:31:60. This achievement solidified their qualification for the Paris Olympics. The caption of the post captures the excitement perfectly, stating, ‘Jamaica is at the top!’

The caption further extends congratulations to the team, highlighting their decisive victory in the 4×400 relays, securing their ticket to Paris 2024. “We’re excited about what’s to come for the team, and we wish them all the success in the world.” However, Bromfield also participated in the Tom Jones Memorial Classic, securing fifth place in the final. Additionally, she demonstrated her prowess in the Glasgow Indoor Championship, clinching the runner-up position in the second heat. As the Paris Olympics draw near, Jamaican hopes for Bromfield soar. However, today proved fortunate for both, as Lyles showcased his dominance on the track.
