The 26-year-old quarter-miler, who won bronze in Tokyo 2020, was tipped as a medal contender in the French capital.
But in a dramatic twist, it has now emerged that Lyles' COVID-19 diagnosis in the build-up to the Games left Bromfield exhausted and unable to perform at her best.
)
'She said I was coughing through the night and she had to keep moving me to make sure I would stop,' Lyles revealed to the Irish Times.
Junelle seemed to have turned up for the race of her life fatigued after failing to have enough rest the night before.

Bromfield, who hails from the same Jamaica town as sprint sensation Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, had breezed through her heat with a time of 51.36 seconds.
However, in the semi-finals, the heartbroken athlete could only manage a dismal 51.93 seconds - finishing last in her race and failing to progress to the final.
)
The crushing disappointment will be particularly tough for Bromfield, who had been tipped as a potential gold medalist after her heroics in Tokyo.
And with Lyles now a freshly minted Olympic champion, the pair will no doubt be left to console each other after their contrasting fortunes in the French capital.
