‘Allyson Felix Is the Only Old Head’- Trayvon Bromell Says a New Era Is Beginning at the Tokyo Olympics 2020

The USA track and field roster for Tokyo Olympics 2020 has many young stars that will go on and serve for many more Olympics Games. And USA’s 100-meter favorite, Trayvon Bromell reckons that a new era has begun with a few of the veterans like Allyson Felix possibly running in their last Olympics and the emergence of young stars such as Gabby Thomas, Erriyon Knighton, Noah Lyles, Sydney McLaughlin, and others.

In a recent interview, Trayvon Bromell claimed that this is the ‘new era’ of sprinting for the USA. He called Allyson Felix as the last ‘old head’ in the group and other than that everybody else is mostly making their Olympic debut. Gone are the days of Justin Gatlin and Mike Rodgers for USA.

“This is a new era of sprinting like literally, I think well Allyson is like the only old head really on the team you know and I mean no offense but it’s just a sprint, and think about it like everybody is new,” Bromell said.

Bromell is not wrong with his observation. He and Ronnie Baker are the ones with experience with Bromell himself heading off to his second Olympics. However, he also makes an admission and reveals his skepticism over the young roster. He gives the example of the 100m relay team that has four sprinters who haven’t raced together before and will be doing so for the first time at the biggest stage. So he reckons this could result in some mishaps, however, these athletes are some of the fastest in American history.

“It’s like if you look at the men’s side who made the 100-meter finals it’s only two people that been on teams me and Ronnie so it’s like we gonna need some experience for right now since we don’t have relay camps,” he added.

Allyson Felix is already a great inspiration for many of them. And her experience could be vital for some of the sprinters during the tense moments of the Olympics. Bromell obviously doesn’t undermine her but sees that she has passed the baton over to the young brigade. How many medals could Bromell and co win in Tokyo?
