Trayvon Bromell doesn’t fear Usain Bolt, bigger, older sprinters
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Trayvon Bromell swore off sprinting — all sports, really — after taking his third ride to the hospital in as many years.
Among his injuries:
— Severely injured left knee on a back flip gone wrong in eighth grade.
— Damaged right knee while grabbing a rebound during a basketball tournament in ninth grade.
— Cracked hip in a 100-meter race as a sophomore.
On his way to the doctor after hurting his hip, he told his mom, “Let’s just stop here before I can’t walk anymore.”
