Noah Lyles' message to his girlfriend

The American sprinter shared a beautiful message to Bromfield, who represented Jamaica at the Paris Olympics.

Lyles also praised Bromfield for being strong in the face of "disrespect" and "hatred".

"The most impressive thing I’ve seen recently is how she’s dealt with the pure disrespect and hatred towards her from her own country. This woman has been attacked by people who have never met her, heard her name before, never seen her smile, or heard what she believes in."
