In the process, Bromell beat the hitherto time held by Saminu and fellow American Kenny Bednarek who tied Saminu’s mark of 9.86 seconds via a win at the Grand Slam Track held in Philadelphia.
Bromell flew past a very strong field to win the race and etch his name in the books as the world’s fastest man this year ahead of the World Athletics Championship in September in Tokyo, Japan.
Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme and Kenya’s Ferdinand Omanyala finished in second and third respectively with times of 9.99 seconds and 10.01 seconds.
Fred Kerley- 2022 World Champion- run a time of 10.06 seconds to finish fifth.
