Trayvon Bromell clocked a wind legal 9.91s season opener, which is the second-fastest in the world this year and his fastest 100m race since 2022. Former world indoor champion Trayvon Bromell blazed to his best time in three years at the Pure Athletics Global Invite in Clermont on Saturday, thus sending a vital comeback statement to men's sprint division. The American speedster swept through to a Season's Best (SB) performance of 9.91s (0.7) to win the men's 100m event, finishing ahead of Eloy Benitez who clocked a Puerto Rican national record of 9.95s, while Lawrence Johnson was third in 10.16s. Bromell's time is the second fastest time in the world this year behind Akani Simbine's 9.90s, and his fastest since the 2022 Zurich Diamond League. Having had years of plagued injuries that hampered his progress, his impressive season's debut in Clermont indicates he may be back to his best and ready to challenge for a spot on the US team to the World Championships in Tokyo. The 29-year-old remains one of the fastest men in history with a massive 100m personal best of 9.76s (joint sixth-fastest all time) and 60m best of 6.42s (joint sixth-fastest all time). Bromell has a brilliant career resume highlighted by winning respective 100m bronze medals at the 2015 and 2022 World Championships. In addition to being the 2016 world indoor champion, he represented the United States at the 2016 Rio and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He became the first U20 athlete to break the 10-second barrier in the 100 meters with a time of 9.97s, which stood as a then-world junior record.
