Trayvon Bromell beat fellow American Noah Lyles by one-hundredth of a second in the men’s 100m at the Paris Diamond League.Bromwell, 30, clocked 9.91s from lane eight in near-completely still conditions (+0.1m/s wind), starting quicker than anyone else and holding off Lyles late in the race — five different men broke 10 seconds, including 2021 Olympic champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs (9.96s), Akani Simbine (9.97s) and world indoor 60m champion Jordan Antony (9.99s).Anthony and Lyles are training partners, with a 9.92s run here Lyles’ third sub-10 clocking of 2026 but a slow start, even by Lyles’ standards, cost him. He was in fifth at 60m and seven hundredths down on Bromell, and while his top-end speed meant he jumped four spots by the finish, he ran out of track to win.Bromell has battled back from injuries in recent years, with this just his second Diamond League win since the start of 2025. He finished second over 60m at U.S. indoors in early March, and later that month took bronze at world indoors in March — both finals won by Anthony.“I really liked my start, I pushed the wheel,” said Bromell to Diamond League media post-race. “I know that I have so much more in my tank, the times and data from my biomechanics make me excited for the season.”Bromell, far left, won a tightly-contested race in Paris (Anne-Christine POUJOULAT / AFP via Getty Images)He added that he will “go nuts” at the Prefontaine Classic next weekend, the annual American leg of the Diamond League in Eugene, Oregon.
