He is the 2016 world indoor 60 m champion and also competed for the United States at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
With the kind of form he has been, Bromell is the hot favourite to take away the 100m gold at the Tokyo Olympics 2020 and end America’s 17-year drought in this event at the Summer Games. His stakes get even higher when the legend himself, 8-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt has predicted that Bromell can surely be his successor. With so many expectations weighing on Trayvon Bromell, it becomes imperative to know all about the American athlete.
Trayvon Bromell’s Bio
Employed by New Balance, Bromell was born on July 10, 1995, in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA. His build is not exactly that a sprinter usually has, as Bromell stands only 5 ft 8 in (173cm) tall and weighs 156lb (71kg). He turned professional in 2015, and since then has represented the US in various events such as 60m, 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay across the globe.
Trayvon Bromell’s Net Worth
According to All Famous Birthday, Bromell has an estimated net worth of $1 million to $3 million. His deal with the New Balance has made the sprint star richer. According to Bromell, he always prioritises his family first and that’s why he enters into big deals so that his family may never face a financial crisis.
Trayvon Bromell’s Career Achievements
Bromell was the first junior to break the 10-second barrier in the 100m with a time of 9.97 seconds, which is also the current junior world record. His personal best time in the 100m of 9.77 seconds makes him the 7th fastest man of all time. He is the 2016 world indoor 60 m champion.
Besides this, Bromell won a bronze medal in 100m at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing. He also won a gold and a silver medal at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Eugene.
Trayvon Bromell’s Coach
Bromell was coached by Mike Ford from 2013. However, in 2019, he ended his long-term alliance with Ford to join hands with Rana Reider. It has paid dividends as Bromell, as predicted by many pundits, may well be the new 100m champion in Tokyo.
Trayvon Bromell’s Parents
Bromell comes from a family of former athletes. His father, Cashmere, played football in the Canadian League while his mother, Shri Sanders, was a former high school sprinter. However, Bromell lost his father after he suffered a heart attack while in the hospital in 2014.
Despite his not-so-favorable build, Bromell is a huge favourite to win at the quadrennial extravaganza and it would be a huge disappointment if he returns with anything less than gold. All of America’s hopes are pinned on Bromell to bring back the crown after Justin Gatlin was the last American who won the 100m Olympic gold at the 2004 Summer Games held in Athens, and Bromell is ready to rise on the expectations.
