“It means a lot because it feels like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. For the past couple of years, it’s been hard for me mentally because I’ve had a lot of losses in my family and I’m just recovering and running on the track with love again,” Bromfield told the Inside Lane.

“I started therapy like two years ago because my boyfriend is big on therapy and it felt as if I needed it too and it honestly has helped a lot because I feel like I’ve been suffering from survivors’ guilt and it was basically laying on my shoulders so now I have to live my life and just enjoy every moment I have because life is short.”
During the Jamaican Olympic trials, she started her campaign by winning the 400m preliminaries, clocking 50.74 to cross the finish line.

The 26-year-old then completed the podium in the final of the race as she clocked 51.24 to punch her ticket to Paris.
“In that race, I’m just so proud that I ran my own race because I could have gone with the whole field but I decided to just sit back and wait for the 100m kick and that is where I know I’m testing myself because I’m from the 800m and 1500m background,” she added.
