Oh yes its the man but just give it some time the excitement soon over
We have to take into consideration that Bromell ran 9.7 at high altitude, 1,790+ meters above sea level to be exact, which translates to 9.9 or 10flat at sea level.

Chris Gambaro-Vega butthurt? Shows how ignorant u are…salty about loosing huh? Loosing what? Listen Jamaica is where everyone wanna be in sports just Google us 🙈 and while u at it Google Masilingi and Mboma lmao
Julia Haskins-Anderson she’s really not. But if she was, at least she’d be human. Something you can’t relate to.
Chris Gambaro-Vega lol go back to school and learn the meaning of human and gender
Mira Juáua I know Sharika lost 3 times. So YOU are the ignorant one. Y’all can’t even lose gracefully.
Mboma doesn’t need to be you. She’s herself.
By the way, go back to school and learn how to spell LOSING. It has one O. Loosing is what you’re doing to your brain right now.
Now run along little girl. You’re done here.
Chris Gambaro-Vega by the looks of it u the only one who is salty buzzing around comment sections we are labeled as the Sprinting Captial we don’t have one runner ok we bag 3 gold from one person in a day I mean how many can do that🤣 not America and not Namibia…. men running with women is celebrated just like men having husbands
I can’t take track seriously. How does a man go from running 10:32 at the beginning of the season to running 9.77 at the end of the season? That doesn’t sound like natural progression.
Rayon Lennon ok coz hes not jamaican he cannot achieve this its not that you dont take track seriously you are naive, before for a female to run below 10.7 meant you must have been on drugs but now that jamaicans especially are running 10.6 and below does that means they could be on drugs as well
Rayon Lennon jealousy
Rayon Lennon they need tested
Rayon Lennon this man was running 9.80 early in the season had a bad month and worked his way back, and if you really know his story you would know about is injury history.
