In an outstanding performance by Bryan Levell at the Raiffeisen Austrian Open, the rising Jamaican sprinter blazed to a brilliant PB of 9.82s (+1.3 m/s) to win ahead of South Africa's Abduraqhman Karriem in 10.07s, while Japan's Yoshihide Kiryu settled for third in 10.08s.

The 21-year-old who will compete in the 200m at the World Championships in Tokyo is highly regarded as a potential medallist and the future of the sport.

The second American on the list, Courtney Lindsey clocked a personal best of 9.82 seconds to finish second behind Kenny Bednarek at the USA Track and Field Championships and book his spot on the team to Tokyo.

His time currently makes him the fourth fastest sprinter in the world in 2025.

A veteran sprinter with over a decade of experience, Trayvon Bromell bounced back to recognition among the world's fastest sprinters after blazing to a massive 9.84 seconds to win the men's 100m event at the Rome Diamond League.

It was his fastest time in three years, making him a major challenger at various meets this season.
