Noah Lyles cheering for Junelle Bromfield's rapping—Is this the ultimate power couple in sports?

Noah Lyles and his girlfriend Junelle Bromfield are each other’s biggest supporters. After Bromfield qualified for the Paris Olympics, Lyles was quick to share his excitement and later told her that they would be the “winningest couple” and get a “whole movie” based on them. Well, we are not sure about a movie right now, but a rap video featuring the Olympics stars? Why not?

Lyles, who has held multiple world champion titles in the 100m, 200m, and 400m relays, is not only aiming for his first Olympics gold but also Usain Bolt’s world record of 19.19 in 200m. Bromfield, on the other hand, is also an Olympic bronze medalist from Jamaica who won a medal in the 1600m relay in Tokyo. The couple is now targeting more success in Paris.

Lyles has already expressed his delight at competing in the Games with his girlfriend also part of the showpiece event. And it’s not just Lyles who is in the zone. Recently, Bromfield showcased her excitement in quite a sassy way! Rapping!

Jamaican Olympian Junelle Bromfield dropped a fun video of her and her boyfriend, Noah Lyles, enjoying each other’s company on a track and sending a message to their rivals. On her Instagram reel, she captioned, “lol always a fun day with Noah ♥️🔐. Don’t come for my Rappin 😂😂.” The lyrics of the rap song inspired by the viral TikTok challenge #glorilla read,

“It’s 9 am Monday (Noah: yeah), it’s 86 degrees (Noah: uhhh!),

I’am at the track and my man right here with me,

We’re about to kill this record cause a medal ain’t for free

Gotta put the work in cause Olympics’ where we be (Noah: Yeah!).

Turned up with my baby (Noah: Yeah!), turned up with my boo (Noah: Yeah!),

turned up with my partner and we about to come for you (Noah: uhhh!)

18 million fans came to see us do our dance.

Got a million and one haters but they all can kiss my a**.”

As Bromfield dropped the rhymes, Lyles was seen cheering and grooving enthusiastically on the beats. In the video, Junelle wore a pink set and rapped a riff on GloRilla’s song about putting in the work for an Olympic medal and being energized by Lyles’ presence. Throughout the video, Noah also had fun as he wore his funky green reflectors and ad-libbed them in the back.

Have an interesting take?

No matter how much pressure the two might be under for Paris, they sent out a clear signal that they are not phased by hate or criticism and are going strong in their pursuits. During the USATF trials, Noah Lyles showcased his dominance and secured Olympic berths in multiple events. He broke Michael Johnson’s 28-year-old record in the 200-meter sprint with a time of 19.53s. Earlier, in the 100m sprint trials, he came out on top with a personal best time of 9.83. 

On the other hand, Junelle Bromfield was also a strong competitor in her country, Jamaica. In the finals, she finished third in the women’s 400m event with a time of 51.24s, securing her spot on the Jamaican Team for the Olympics.

In the same event, earlier, she powered through her personal best of 50.74s, which was set during round 1, securing second place. Being an integral part of her country’s relay team, her winning streaks are as follows:

The Track and Field couple now have their eyes set on more glory come the Olympics. After their qualification, Bromfield posted a video on TikTok, where he can see Lyles talking about his vision for both of them. “We go to the Olympics, I win every race, you win every race, we come back as the most winningest couple… that’s crazy. We shall get a whole movie. They will make a movie based on our one year. You see that right.”

For Bromfield, achieving the feat of being an Olympian, along with beating her own personal best in the 400m event, was quite a journey for her. And Noah Lyles, her support system, helped her get through the toughest phases of her life.

Their support goes even deeper than athletic pursuits. Before the Tokyo Olympics, when Bromfield lost her mom to stage 4 cervical cancer, Noah and his mother Keisha Caine became her rock. In Florida at that time, Keisha drove her forty minutes to and from training, which was exactly the kind of support she needed at the time.

Junelle also told Inside Lane in a candid interview on July 3, how Noah’s advocacy for therapy made her turn to heal herself, “It’s been really helpful because I’ve been dealing with survivor’s guilt, which was weighing on me. Now, I feel like I can live my life fully and enjoy every moment because life is short.”

When Bromfield qualified for the Olympics in the 400m event from Jamaica, Lyles took to his social media and let the world know how proud he was, “THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!! @JunelleBromfiel IS GOING TO THE OLYMPICS IN THE 400m!!!” he tweeted. Similarly, miles away in Jamaica, Bromfield kept track of the USA trials and how her sweetheart was faring.

She posted about his performances throughout the meet on her IG stories, and when he made the 100m team, she adorned him with a crown, celebrating the sprinter’s 9.83s finish. She wrote “Di boss” in the captions. Bromfield also shared a picture of Noah crossing the finish line and leaving Fred Kerley and Kenny Bednarek behind. She added a fire emoji, indicating that Noah blazed across the track. 

The consistent display of affection and support that the couple shows to each other could be instrumental went it comes to the Paris Olympics. And if they are successful, who knows we might get a movie based on them after all.
