After overcoming injuries, Trayvon Bromell doesn’t fear Bolt (Yahoo Sports)

$FILE - In this March 18, 2016, file photo, United States' Trayvon Bromell celebrates after winning the men's 60-meter sprint final during the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Portland, Ore. Bromell nearly gave up track after breaking his right knee while executing a backflip in eighth grade. And again when he broke the left one in ninth grade playing basketball. And a third time in 10th grade, when he fractured his hip while running the 100 meters. But the 20-year-old stuck with it and may be the biggest challenger in the way of Usain Bolt and at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File)$

Trayvon Bromell swore off sprinting – all sports, really – after taking his third ride to the hospital in as many years. Time healed those wounds and Bromell has bounced back to become one of the top American sprinters. The 20-year-old may even be the one to give Usain Bolt a run for the gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Games if he makes the 100-meter team at Olympic Trials this week.
