Trayvon Bromell underlined his position as the favourite for the Olympic Games 100 metres when he delivered a dominant gun to tape performance to win in 9.98 seconds at the final Diamond League meeting before Tokyo on Tuesday.
Bromell, winner of the U.S. trials and the fastest in the world this year with 9.77, will be seeking to reclaim the Olympic crown for the U.S. after 13 years in the possession of Usain Bolt.And, despite cool conditions in Gateshead on the north-east English coast, he looked in great shape to do so, getting out quickly, consolidating by halfway and cruising over the line by a distance from British duo CJ Ujah and Zharnel Hughes .
The expected women's 200m showdown disappeared with the injury withdrawal of home favourite Dina Asher-Smith and instead Olympic 200m and 100m champion Elaine Thompson-Herah did all she needed, though she looked a touch uncomfortable as she crossed the line in 22.43.
