As a track fan, it’s hard to digest that American sprinter Trayvon Bromell flew all the way to England for a race and was disqualified. Going into the Birmingham Diamond League, he was the top favorite for the gold medal. However, even before he could showcase his skills, the junior world record holder was disqualified from the 100m race.

Trayvon Bromell, along with the British sprinter Zharnel Hughes, was given a red card for the false start. As a result, both of them were disqualified from the race. The 26-year-old would be mortified with such strictness in the sport. Furthermore, fans on Twitter are also going crazy over such strict track rules for a false start.
