Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield are known for their strong and tight-knit relationship. In fact, the couple recently celebrated the first anniversary of their dating life with their social media fans. Bromfield, a track and field athlete herself, is a 4x400m relay specialist from Jamaica.
Bromfield has stuck close to Noah Lyles in his endeavors in these past days and has cheered him to victory. While Lyles didn?t stop his golden reign in Budapest, his girlfriend followed suit and continued her cheering in Zurich.
Despite her support, a few American fans were left sour because of her failure to congratulate Sha’Carri Richardson at Budapest. Bromfield skipped congratulating Richardson despite her stunning victories in the 100m and the 4x100m dash at Budapest. She praised Shericka Jackson for beating Richardson with an almost FloJo-surpassing run in the 200m dash. However, Bromfield didn’t praise Richardson’s triumph over Jackson in the same prestigious tournament, despite having an American boyfriend. While she may have failed to congratulate Richardson for her wins, she left no stone unturned to support Lyles. Fans couldn?t help but notice the undying support of Junelle Bromfield for their ace sprinter, who produced another stellar triumph.
Noah Lyles raced ahead of the competition. However, there was a moment when his teammates were gaining distance on him.?
Lyles faced a tooth-and-nail competition from Erriyon Knighton and Zharnel Hughes. While Lyles was slower than his Budapest triumph, Bromfield?s endless support powered him through Knighton?s raging footsteps. The world champion maintained his lead till the end and claimed another victory at the Diamond League.
Lyles clocked 19.80 in Zurich, which was a tad bit slower than his 19.52 second win in Budapest. However, this marked the second Diamond League win for Lyles this season and his fifth overall in the 200m category. Interestingly enough, Lyles had already predicted his win. In fact, he even announced it through the Instagram page of his girlfriend hours before the race.
