US sprinter Trayvon Bromell won the men’s 100m at the British Grand Prix here on Tuesday as Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah took the honours in the women’s 200m.
Bromell, the fastest man in the world this year, won in 9.98 seconds, with Britain’s Chijindu Ujah second in 10.10 at the Diamond League event.
It was a welcome return to form for Bromell, 26, who has a fastest time of 9.77 in 2021 but trailed home in fifth place at the Monaco Diamond League meeting on Friday.
