“We never went to bed hungry or anything,” Junelle Bromfield recalled about her childhood. After all, she had her mother, who “did pretty amazing job” not letting her children feel the external situation. But did that change the entire reality? No, it could not.In fact, Noah Lyles’s girlfriend had to face the stark reality of her country, a situation that was quite common in the 80s and 90s—a declining economy and loss of jobs. Although several efforts were made to bring about change, the expected results came later than anticipated.

The outcome of that could be followed in Bromfield’s subsequent comment: “When I grew up, I didn’t see a profession bigger than a teacher at the point when I was in there.” However, the lack of a profession couldn’t suppress her dream, which was to study further to come out on the better side. Simultaneously, she was motivated to carry her country’s flag by watching something. 

Recently, the 26-year-old was called a “traitor” by some of her countrymen, which brought up a flood of emotions and memories. However, the real issue is that she can’t return to her country to share her side of the story. She can’t stand face-to-face with those Jamaicans to remind them that she was just 8 years old when she first dreamed of becoming an Olympian. The reason she can’t go back is due to the threatening messages she’s received from her fellow countrymen. The issues erupted when her boyfriend Noah Lyles admitted to knowing insider news regarding the Jamaican dressing room. 

The allegation is that Bromfield passed on valuable information to Noah, a key figure on the rival American track and field team. However, in her conversation with Simone N. Clarke, Junelle emphasized that she has always been someone who strives to go the “furthest.” She admitted, “I don’t want to stop going to school at 14 or 15,” despite knowing that there would be just one profession selected for her in the best scenario. Actually, Noah Lyles’s love interest paid heed to that profession.

Instead, being educated, Junelle Bromfield wanted to pursue her dream that once had been brewed by watching races on TV in the early hours—to become an Olympian, to carry forward the baton of Merlene Ottey. “This is what I want to do,” she steadfastly admitted, narrating her childhood dream to Clarke. And she did. 

Before heading to the Tokyo Olympics, Junelle Bromfield faced the devastating loss of her mother to stage four cervical cancer. In addition to the emotional toll, her training schedule was severely affected by the constant traveling between St. Elizabeth and Kingston for her mother’s treatment. Despite these challenges, Junelle secured a bronze medal in the women’s 4x400m relay. Yet, these achievements are often overshadowed when she faces criticism, threats, and unfounded allegations, while at times, her country’s system remains a silent bystander.

Noah Lyles’s belle displays the grave threat on Junelle from her countrymen 

Simone N Clarke’s interview with Junelle Bromfield has gained significant attention in Jamaica. The host, who had to record the interview outside of Jamaica, even emphasized this on her Instagram. However, could it positively impact the ongoing situation? Perhaps not. Just yesterday, the athlete posted a screenshot on her X account, highlighting a serious threat directed at her. Shockingly, the message came from someone within the country’s legal system.

Meanwhile, the snafu made her write, “Police officers who are suppose to make you feel safe in Jamaica encouraging the bullying, and yet I am exaggerating not feeling safe ?” Currently, Junelle is in the USA with her boyfriend, Noah Lyles. But the thing is Noah believes that his girlfriend will come out of this gloomy situation. Rating her perseverance high, the six-time world champion laid out, “We’re both Olympic medalists, we’re both two-time Olympians, we’ve been to multiple world championships together. And even though our journeys are different, we still are fighters and we have a lot of the same qualities.” So what do you think about this ongoing fiasco? Let us know.
