"When I went to Florida, I wasn't driving, and his mum took me to training and back every day, which was a 40-minute drive. That's the kind of support I'm extremely grateful for," Bromfield expressed.

She won the 400m preliminaries with a time of 50.74 seconds and then secured a third-place finish in the final, clocking a lifetime best of 51.24 seconds.
"I'm just so proud that I ran my own race because I could have gone with the whole field, but I decided to just sit back and wait for the 100m kick, and that's where I know I'm testing myself because I'm from the 800m and 1500m background," Bromfield added.
