Noah Lyles and his mother Keisha Caine have reacted to Junelle Bromfield's dismal performance in the women's 400m semis to miss out on a slot in the final at the Paris Olympics.
Junelle Bromfield went into the women’s 400m semifinal at the Paris Olympics with the hope of making an impact but failed to live up to the billing following her eighth-place finish in 51.93.
In the women’s semifinal, only the top two in each heat would get a slot in the final with the two fastest losers also being allocated slots in the final.
Competing in semifinal one, Bromfield had a great start but faded slowly to cross the finish line last. Bahrain’s Salwa Eid Nasser won the hotly-contested race as Ireland’s Rhasidat Adeleke finished second to secure direct tickets to the final.
