"Been down this road before"- Trayvon Bromell opens up on his injury sustained at Meeting Citta di Savona ahead of Olympic trials

The American track and field star Trayvon Bromell faced a setback right before the Olympic trials while competing at the Meeting Citta di Savona in Italy. He ended up with an injury at his second meet of the year.

Bromell opened the season in Jacksonville on April 27. The 2016 World Indoor 60-meter champion opened up about the same. He was competing in the 100m at the meet in Italy and pulled up to the finals after scoring a 10.34 in the heats. There, however, he finished fifth with a time of 10.87.

Bromell was left behind by the other competitors because of an injury. He was seen holding his thigh at the end of the 100m race and it looked like he sustained a muscle cramp. He is no stranger to injuries; he faced a setback during the 2016 Olympics trials as well after sustaining a sprain in his Achilles Tendon.

Again, Bromell has fallen into the lap of almost a similar situation before the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, the athlete has not lost hope and has opened up about the incident on his Instagram story.

He wrote:

"Never question the things that happen, because it all happens for a reason. Been down this road before. We pick up and move."

Keeping his faith in God, Bromell stated:

"All praise to the most high God!"
