Jamaica's Junelle Bromfield had a disappointing outing in the Olympics 400m event, finishing last.

Jamaican quarter-miler Junelle Bromfield failed remarkably in the semi-finals of the 400m dash at the Olympics, as she finished 8th. 

Bromfield finished third in her heats, a day after her partner Noah Lyles became the World's Fastest Man, piping her compatriot Kishane Thompson to 100m gold. 

She took to Instagram to celebrate his triumph, posting “the double is alive,” a caption that raised eyebrows as it confirmed her loyalties did not lie with her countrymen. 

A day after Lyle’s historic run, she stepped onto her path towards destiny, clocking 51.36 seconds in the 400m heats, behind Irish-Nigerian Adeleke Rhasidat and USA’s Holmes Alexis.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics bronze medalist failed to take a step further towards a medal in the Paris Games, however, as she screened out in the semi-finals. 

Bromfield finished last in Semi-final One, running 51.93s, a significant 0.57 seconds slower than her heat time.
