Trayvon Bromell To Miss 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials After Injury Setback

Trayvon Bromell, the reigning U.S. Olympic Trials 100m champion and 2022 World Championship bronze medalist, will miss the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials next week in Eugene, Oregon.

Here’s what you need to know:

– Bromell was looking to return to the world stage after competing injured at last year’s U.S. Championships and then undergoing surgery for a bone spur in his right foot.

– Bromell pulled up injured after a 10.87s run at a meet in Savona, Italy last month. He had not competed since and later scratched from the U.S. Olympic Trials 100m declarations.

– "Trayvon hurt his adductor in the race in Savona," his agent told CITIUS MAG. "He has been feeling it on and off since then. It has been bothering him in training this week so unfortunately he won’t be ready for the Trials. We hope he will be back competing in a few weeks."

– Bromell the news on Instagram and wrote: "Hate that I have to miss it but I have to listen to my body. We will all be tested in life. Grateful God continues to give me the strength to fight. I will not give up!"

– Bromell represented the United States in the 100m and 4x100m at the 2016 and 2021 Olympics. At 28 years old, he owns a World Championship gold medal in the 60m from the 2016 World Indoor Championships and two bronze medals in the 100m from 2015 and 2022.

Who is in the mix?

The U.S. men’s 100m picture looks fairly wide open behind World champion Noah Lyles, who is the second-fastest man in the world this year with a 9.85s season’s best. High schooler Christian Miller and Kendal Williams are the next-fastest American men with a 9.93s season’s best. 60m World champion Christian Coleman has been making a steady progression but heads to the Trials with just a 9.95 season’s best. 2022 World champion Fred Kerley is looking to turn around his season at the Trials. Watch for the likes of Kenny Bednarek, who was fourth at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials but ran 9.91 at altitude in Nairobi earlier in the year.
