Bromell has struggled with injuries over the last couple of years , but made a statement with a 9.91 second dash in his first 100m race of 2025.

Trayvon Bromell’s return to the top of world sprinting took a bold turn at the 2025 Pure Athletics Global Invitational, where he torched the track with a blistering 9.91s in the 100m—his fastest time since 2022 and the second-best mark in the world this year behind South Africa’s Akani Simbine.

Bromell, who won bronze at the 2015 World Athletics Championships in the 100 meters in a field stack with four of greatest sprinters of all time -Justin Gatlin, Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay, has struggled with injuries, including two achilles injuries, made a statement with his commanding display.

Bromell, who boasts a personal best of 9.76 seconds in the 100 meter race set at the 2021 Absa Kip Keino classic, has however revealed his main priorities moving forward.

But beyond the stopwatch, Bromell’s message was even louder.

Bromell: I Felt Like I Never Left

“Honestly, I felt like I never left,” he told Journey to Gold Podcast. “The talent don’t go nowhere. I’m only 29 years old. People forget I came into the sport young… and I got hurt, so I didn’t really use my body like that in my career.”

The former world indoor 60m champion is putting the track world on notice—not just with his speed, but with his mindset. After years of being written off due to injury setbacks, including a ruptured Achilles and multiple surgeries, Bromell is now eyeing longevity and legacy.

“I look at people like Gatlin(Justin)  who had longevity and I feel like I could fit into that mold because I haven’t used my body that much,” he explained.

That mindset is paired with an unwavering work ethic. “People who are close-knit to me and know me, understand how I operate. I eat well, I work hard day in and day out… I try to work twice as hard as any of my competitors.”

Trayon Bromell: Family My Ultimate Priority

But even as he regains his form and positions himself for a shot at the 2025 World Championships and potentially the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, Bromell made it crystal clear that one priority will always come first: family.

“If I’m in good health and I can get to LA28, I will be running at LA28,” he said. “But I want to start a family, and I’m a big family person because I didn’t have family. I know if I have a child, track ain’t gonna mean nothing to me.”

He didn’t mince words about how serious he is about fatherhood. “I’m not missing first steps, I’m not missing talks—none of that. I told my wife, you get pregnant during track season, one of them years getting taken off.”

For Bromell, family will always come before finish lines.

“I’ve said that even before I got to the level of success I’ve reached. If I became a father, fatherhood comes first. Period. Point blank.”

With that 9.91, Trayvon Bromell isn’t just sending a warning shot to Noah Lyles and the rest of the elite sprint field—he’s proving that he’s back, grounded, and running with a purpose bigger than gold medals.
