Coleman set to make a comeback in the 60m at Millrose Games

(Sports news) The 114th edition of the Millrose Games will see the 100m stars compete to take the prize in the 60m sprinting track. The 2016 world indoor gold medalist Trayvon Bromell will take to the tracks close by world record-holder Christian Coleman, Noah Lyles, Marvin Bracy, Ronnie Baker and Jamaica's Omar McLeod.

Coleman returned to competition a few weeks ago and if he runs anywhere near his world record of  6.34 secs, he should be unbeatable. Baker also is fast off the blocks, with the second-fastest timing in the field of 6.40 seconds and he improved his 100m best to 9.83 seconds at Tokyo.

This will be an opportunity for Bromell, who went into the Olympics as the men's 100m contender but made his exit in the quarterfinals, he ended the 2021 season with a joint 6th fastest in history in the 100m with a 9.76 sec at Nairobi. Even though Bromell and Coleman are also a rivalry to watch out for 100m races in the upcoming races, the duo are sure to set the fireworks right from the start of the year.

Defending Olympic champions Ryan Crouser, Athing Mu and Katie Nageotte will also be participating in the first World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting of the season. Crouser has been on an unbeaten streak since last year and had set world records in indoor and outdoor shot put. He also claimed his second straight Olympic gold at Tokyo by a long margin as there is no competition for Crouser right now. It's currently a year since the 29-year-old broke the world indoor record of 22.82m in Atlanta and, having tossed 23.37m outside, the 23-meter boundary has been crossed multiple times by the champion. He has had a huge lead in terms of the throws with his closest competitor this time, Payton Otterdahl, having thrown 21.81m at his peak.

 

The women's 60m is similarly stacked with talent, and teen sensation Briana Williams, who broke the 11 second barrier in the 100m last year and helped Jamaica win gold in the 4x100m relay in Tokyo, will be one to watch. Gabby Thomas of the United States, who won Olympic silver in the 200m at Tokyo with a time of 21.61, is also in the mix, with her 60m best of 7.21 looking ripe for adjustment. English Gardner, Aleia Hobbs, and Mikiah Brisco, all from the United States, should be in the mix as well.
