Overview

• Trayvon Bromell won the men’s 100m at the Rome Diamond League on June 6 with a world-leading time of 9.84 seconds.
• The 9.84 mark is his fastest 100m since 2022 and caps his comeback after a two-year absence from Diamond League competition.
• Bromell’s resurgence follows a coaching switch to Michael Ford in 2024 and recovery from knee fractures, a hip injury and recurring Achilles issues.
• Before Rome, South Africa’s Akani Simbine held the 2025 world lead at 9.86 seconds set on May 17 at the World Relays in Guangzhou.
• Bromell’s return to form positions him as a leading contender for the Paris Olympic sprint events.
