On October 15, Beijing time, United States sprinter Lyles announced the good news of a successful marriage proposal to his girlfriend through social media, which aroused strong attention from netizens.
As can be seen from the photo, Lyles knelt down on one knee to put on an engagement ring for his girlfriend, and then the two kissed sweetly, and the loving picture made netizens leave messages and likes: "How do I feel that Lyles's object is taller than him", "I feel that this year, Mr. Lyles (Lyles's nickname) is showing affection, and he is finally going to marry someone home, haha", "Congratulations to Lyles, after winning the gold medal in the Paris Olympics, I feel confident in everything I do", "It's a good match, I want to be happy", "Anyway, every time I look at the photos of Lyles's girlfriend, There are always several familiar faces, don't you think you look a little like little Blake? "Left hand gold medal right hand love, winner in life".
The 27-year-old Lyles, who ran the 8th all-time finish in the men's 200m back in 2019, is considered the most promising talent to break Bolt's record. As the men's 200m champion at the 2019, 2022 and 2023 World Athletics Championships, Lyles has only finished third at two consecutive Olympic Games. On the contrary, in the men's 100m competition, he had the last laugh, and in the most watched 100m trapeze battle of the Paris Olympics, Lyles narrowly won the gold medal by a narrow margin of five thousandths of a second. It was the first time since Athens 2004 that an athlete from United States won the gold medal in the men's 100m.
After becoming an Olympic champion, Lyles began to prepare to propose to his girlfriend, and in a real sense, he achieved a double harvest in career and love. Lyles' fiancée, also a track and field athlete named Bromfield, is from Jamaica and competes in the 400m event and also competed at the Paris Olympics. Since his debut, Lyles has been known for his personality and even some of his unabashedness, which has made him a 100-meter flyer who is equally loved and hated. Especially before winning the gold medal in the Paris Olympics, he was criticized for his Olympic results and his cruel words, until Paris realized his dream of becoming king.
