Trayvon Bromell to Sprint on to Great CityGames Stage in Manchester

Published by Athletics Weekly on May 10, 2016

One of the hottest prospects in world sprinting will be lining up at the Co-op Bank Great CityGames Manchester on Friday May 20 as USA’s world indoor 60m champion Trayvon Bromell has been announced for the prestigious street-athletics meet.

Racing on a purpose-built track down Deansgate, Bromell will make his Great CityGames debut by taking on Kim Collins, Richard Kilty and CJ Ujah over 100m.

Bromell is at the forefront of a new generation of sprinters expected to take up the mantle from the likes of Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay, with the 20-year-old having burst on to the senior scene in 2015 with his bronze medal-winning performance at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing, behind Bolt and Justin Gatlin.
