Trayvon Bromell Determined To Return to the Top After Tokyo Olympics 2020 and Nike Prefontaine Setbacks

Trayvon Bromell failed to complete his comeback story with a happy ending at the Tokyo Olympics this year, crashing out of the semifinals of the 100m sprint race, an event in which he was heavily touted to win Gold.?

The American had braved multiple injured to become the fastest man and headed to the Olympics as the favorite. However, Bromell just could not find his usual form and after a shaky start in the heats, he lost out completely in the semi-finals with a timing of 10 seconds, losing out on the finals by just 0.001 seconds to second-placed Enoch Adegoke of Nigeria.?

Fast forward to Nike Prefontaine Classic, Bromell was aiming to mount a comeback and reassert his dominion over the race. However, once again, he failed to medal and came fourth, behind Andre de Grasse of Canada and both his American Olympic teammates Fred Kerley and Ronnie Baker.?

Right after the race, Bromell was still determined to get back to the top and immediately decided to resume training. ?I like the man I’m becoming, mentally and physically,? he wrote in a tweet. ?I come from nothing, so in light of it all, I’ve won at life. Never give up, step on the necks of the odds. Don’t listen to the critics, keep God first. You’re destined for greatness if you believe! You against the world.?

Trayvon Bromell has a long way to go from here

Trayvon Bromell clocked 9.86 seconds in the race and was beaten by Ronnie Baker (9.82 seconds), Fred Kerley (9.78 seconds), and Andre De Grasse (9.74 seconds). Kerley, who won silver in Tokyo, failed to improve on his performance with gold and lost out to De Grasse whom he actually defeated earlier.

The Canadian, on the other hand, has taken over the 100m event after leaving his mark on the 200m. We have truly seen the best of Andre De Grasse over the past few months and a new world of track without Usain Bolt.?
