'Dead silent'- When Noah Lyles met Junelle Bromfield for their awkward first date
Noah Lyles has recounted his hilariously awkward first date with fiancée Junelle Bromfield, proving love can bloom unexpectedly.
After Seville set a personal best of 9.88 seconds, defeating the reigning world champion Noah Lyles in the process, Jennifer Bolt was among the first to celebrate his achievement.
Her encouragement underscores the familial connection that Seville feels with Bolt’s world, further fueling his ambitions.
Seville’s rise to prominence began in earnest in 2021, when he qualified for his maiden Olympics at the Tokyo Games.
Though he narrowly missed the 100m final, his performance in the 4x100m relay final – where Jamaica placed fourth – offered a glimpse of his potential.
The following year, Seville reached the 100m final at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon, finishing fourth behind American winner Fred Kerley.
The 2023 World Championships in Budapest solidified his status as a global contender.
Despite finishing fourth once again in the 100m final, Seville clocked an identical time of 9.88 seconds to the silver and bronze medalists, Letsile Tebogo and Zharnel Hughes.
His consistency and ability to deliver on the world stage made headlines. Moreover, he secured his first piece of international silverware as part of Jamaica’s 4x100m relay team, winning bronze.
For Seville, the weight of expectations is both a challenge and a motivator.
The parallels to Bolt are unavoidable – the same coach, the same nation, and now, the same hope to dominate on the track.
