'My fiancée is at home'- Noah Lyles dismisses rematch pleas from YouTube star as he runs back to Junelle Bromfield
After beating IShowSpeed in a 50m race, Noah Lyles declined a rematch, urging the 21-year-old to train for the US trials instead while he headed home to his fiancée and $100,000 prize.
She added that injuries are a part of an athlete’s journey and this season Shericka Jackson also became a victim of the same, forcing her to withdraw from the Paris Olympic Games too. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce also had a tough season, starting it late due to an injury and could not continue with her campaign at the Paris Olympic Games.
Elaine Thompson-Herah revealed that the injuries can be at times frustrating but her support system has kept her grounded and motivated her not to lose hope in dreams. She believes that once injuries are over, she will bounce back to winning ways.
“Facing injuries is a part of the sport but it’s very frustrating because as an elite athlete, you want to go out there and do your best and as you the Olympics have passed and as the defending Olympic champion I would have loved to race in Paris,” Elaine Thompson-Herah said.
“Nevertheless, the injury jumped in but I just need to keep my composure, my focus and stay motivated. My friends, family and my husband always keep me going. I have believed in myself and once my belief is strong because nobody can believe for you and that starts within you.”
Meanwhile, Ato Boldon had earlier this season, in an interview with Letsrun.com said: "I look at Elaine and think that she has done things that nobody else has done. She is in a club of one with her double-double in the last two Olympic Games. But I don't think she's coming back. I don't.”
