Jamaican sprinter Junelle Bromfield has been living in the US with her American fiancé Noah Lyles and she has got to experience a lot of things that she was not accustomed to back home.
From weather and cultural changes to food, Bromfield is having to get used to a lot of stuff in the US and her latest surprise is how large American institutions are.
While training together with Lyles at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Monday, Bromfield admitted she has been taken aback by the size of US universities which she says looks more than sports complexes as facilities are far apart, unlike what she is used to.
Noah Lyles was left seemingly unhappy by his fiancé Junelle Bromfield’s admission that she still wants to keep some secrets from him even after getting engaged.
“Universities in the US don’t look like universities, just spacious, looks like a sporting complex,” Bromfield told Lyles.
“Even when we go to Gainesville, you have like the medical building right here and you have to drive like a mile to see the next building and you are like…!
“I am accustomed to everything joined together. If there is a section to them is like a two-minute walk,” she added.
But Lyles was brutal in his response: “That’s a high school,” referring to what Bromfield had just described as her version of a university.
“That’s not a high school,” she retorted, but he insisted, “That is a highs school.”
“That is a university, stop it,” she said but her fiancé would hear none of it, “That is my high school,” he maintained.
Well, it seems Bromfield will need a lot of time getting used to living in a first world country now that she is set to get married to the Olympics 100m champion following their engagement in October.
