Rising American sprint star Trayvon Bromell swept to victory in the men's 60 meters at the World Indoor Athletics Championships on Friday. Bromell, who won a bronze in the 100m at last year's World Championships in Beijing, gave another demonstration of his talent by winning in 6.47sec, just ahead of pre-race favourite Asafa Powell of Jamaica. Ramon Gittens of Barbados was third. The 20-year-old Bromell made worldwide headlines in June last year when he clocked an astonishing 9.84sec at the US trials. "It was a great race. I know those guys are great competitors so I said to myself 'When I hear the gun go off, you got to go, you got to power out," said Bromell.
