Bromfield not only congratulated, but also expressed her frustration at having to prove her allegiance to her country Jamaica every single moment. The Olympic medalist sprinter poured her heart out in a long, emotional Instagram post, which contained a old newspaper clipping about her achievements.

Bromfield talked about her relationship and her allegiance to Jamaica as she mentioned,

"I have proudly represented Jamaica since I was 8 years old, and that will never change. Jamaica is my home, my heritage, and my pride.Supporting my fiancé in his big moment does not take away from the love I have for my country or its athletes."

The athlete also shared a DM to current 100m world champion Oblique Seville as a proof as she further added,

"I’ve always been the kind of teammate who gives ,whether that’s helping someone with their hair the night before my own race (free of cost ) or encouraging friends who may even be competing against Noah. Patriotism is more than wearing colors or waving a flag, it’s shown in service, in love, and in the way I represent Jamaica in my everyday life."
