The 2025 Racers Grand Prix is set to light up Kingston on Saturday, June 7, at the iconic Jamaica National Stadium. As a World Athletics Continental Tour Silver meet, it promises world-class action and island pride. Jamaica’s biggest track and field stars will go head-to-head with global talent in a night of speed, strength, and showdowns. All eyes will be on the men’s 100m — a must-see clash featuring Olympic silver medalist Kishane Thompson and hometown hero Oblique Seville. Adding to the heat? South Africa’s rising sprint sensation, Bayanda Walaza. So, the stage is set. The lanes are ready. And let the fireworks begin. Still, not everyone is feeling satisfied. One Jamaican quarter-miler, Junelle Bromfield, is left disappointed — not by the action on the track, but by the struggle to even watch it. How?

This week, all eyes will be on Shericka Jackson in the women’s 200m — and for good reason. The Jamaican sprint queen comes in as the heavy favorite to take the crown. Fresh off a confident 11.04s win in the 100m at the Rabat Diamond League, Jackson is proving she’s in top form. She’s only run the 200m once this season, finishing second in Xiamen, but when the lights are brightest, she always shows up. Amid this, Junelle has raised a concern overlooked by many!

Yes, on June 8th, Junelle Bromfield ran into unexpected roadblocks trying to watch the Racers Grand Prix — a major meet happening right in her own hometown. Despite the hype and anticipation surrounding the event, part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Silver series, Bromfield was left on the sidelines as a fan. She voiced her frustration on Instagram. Posting a text story on June 8, she wrote, “Last time I’m paying for 1 spot media because mine never work yet when I want to watch a meet.” For an elite Jamaican athlete to feel this disconnected from a homegrown showcase says a lot. Fans expected fireworks on the track, not frustration off it.
