Noah Lyles Gets Immediate 4-Word Response From Fiancée Junelle Bromfield After Historic Diamond League Record

Noah Lyles has been racing in Diamond League stadiums since 2017, and almost every September, his dominance becomes more evident. The American sprinter extended his winning streak in Zurich, where he overtook Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo in the final stretch to seize his sixth DL win in the men’s 200 meters. The margin was two hundredths of a second: 19.74 to 19.76.

The Zurich race carried the tension of their growing rivalry. Tebogo, who stunned the athletics world at the Paris Games by defeating Lyles in a championship 200, returned to the start line intent on holding off the world champion. For 150 meters, he seemed in command. Yet as the curve unwound into the straight, Lyles gathered pace and moved past him with characteristic composure. Meanwhile, Alexander Ogando finished third in 20.14.

With that victory, Lyles secured his place as the only sprinter in history to win six Diamond League titles at 200 meters. And his fiancée, Junelle Bromfield, couldn’t hold back on reposting World Athletics’ acknowledgement of Noah Lyles’ win. The caption read: “6time diamond league champ .”

Noah’s run of consecutive crowns began in Brussels in 2017 and has continued through London, Paris, and Lausanne. “Started in Brussels back in 2017. 5x Diamond League titles later, I’m still here. Going for number 6 tonight. 200m,” he wrote on his Instagram account before the Zurich final. The post served as a reminder of how long his hold on the event has lasted.  

Across these eight seasons, Noah Lyles has collected 23 individual Diamond League victories in the 200 meters. He has broken meeting records in Monaco, Lausanne, and Paris, the latter a night in 2019 when he surpassed Usain Bolt’s meeting mark with 19.51. He has also marked his own standards several times, including a 19.50 in Lausanne that stood as one of the fastest performances ever recorded. These are not isolated wins but part of a body of work that reflects both consistency and progression.

The Zurich final also signaled what lies ahead.

“My road to defending my world titles in Tokyo in September goes through London,” Lyles said earlier in the season, confirming his commitment to the build-up races. He pointed to London as a venue where he has often produced fast times and did it again in July. And now, his appearance in Zurich demonstrated that his form has remained aligned with that plan for Tokyo.

For Tebogo, the narrow loss was both disappointment and encouragement. He equaled his season’s best of 19.76 and once more showed he can press Lyles to the line. Their contests in London, Budapest, Paris, and now Zurich form the spine of a rivalry that defines the men’s 200 meters. What separates them remains experience and the ability to close a race under pressure.

In Zurich, Lyles proved that even when pushed by the rising star, his hold on the Diamond League crown is not yet broken. And now, it’s time to tell how the contest between Noah Lyles and Letsile Tebogo pans out in the future.
