Trayvon Bromell banished his Olympic disappointment and beat his own world-leading time in the 100 meters on Saturday, winning the Kip Keino Classic in 9.76 seconds in Nairobi.

The American was a favorite heading into the Tokyo Olympics but failed to reach the final in the event last month, coming up short of his previous world-leading 9.77-second performance set in June to finish his semifinal at the Games in 10.00.
