Junelle Bromfield and her boyfriend Noah Lyles were loved up after his Olympic 100m gold victory, but her celebratory post has got Jamaicans angry on neglecting her country.
Following his successful claim of the 100m Olympic gold medal, Noah Lyles's first line of action was to celebrate with his girlfriend Junelle Bromfield as they both disregarded the fury of Jamaicans.
Lyles blazed to his best career performance against fierce Jamaican rival Kishane Thompson to win USA's first Olympic men's 100m title in 20 years.

The American speedster saved his best 100m race for the last at Paris 2024, having lost his heat and semifinal races. However, he rose to the occasion when it mattered most in the final, storming to the finish line in a new Personal Best (PB) of 9.79s for his first Olympic gold medal.

Thompson, having arrived in Paris with the fastest time in the world and the top favourite for the win, settled for the silver medal in an identical time of 9.79s with Lyles having the edge of 0.005, while Fred Kerley resurfaced on why he's a former world champion by claiming the bronze medal in 9.81s.
