'Western girl'- Junelle Bromfield dazzles in unique outfit as she hangs out with fiancé Noah Lyles
Junelle Bromfield was all smiles as she looked stunning in her outfit alongside her fiancé Noah Lyles who never disappoints when it comes to fashion.
“The community always has it’s way of supporting the children and for me, they always back me up with the little that that I need to do. If I need transport money, they would pledge if I’m asking but I don’t like to ask because I feel like I’ll be a burden to people,” Letsile Tebogo said.
“I’d rather struggle on my own and then find the best thing that I would do but I’m grateful for my coach because he knows all the struggles. If I need something, that’s the person I would go to, he is my right-hand man.”
This year has seen the youngster receive tons of support after a tough start to the season when he lost his mother Seratiwa Tebogo to a short illness. Letsile Tebogo, however, overcame the tough situation to win races and post faster times.
With support from his community, the world 100m silver medallist went on to claim the 200m gold medal and anchor Botswana’s 4x400m relay team to a silver medal at the Paris Olympic Games.
He claimed top honours in a series of Diamond League Meetings including Lausanne, Rome, Zurich, and Silesia. Letsile Tebogo then went on to finish second at the Diamond League Meeting final in Brussels, Belgium.
