The men's 100 m is the absolute king and parade discipline of athletics. Nothing seems to fascinate people more than the speed that people achieve under their own power. At every meeting, this spectacle is the absolute highlight of the day. This summer the European and World Championships in athletics will take place. Of course, everyone will be interested to see who has a good chance of crowning their career with victory in the 100 m race. The following runners are currently the fastest sprinters with a record time under 10 seconds for the distance of 100 meters. Which of them has a real chance of winning the title of European and World Champion?
1. trayvon bromell
Trayvon Bromell is probably the American hope for gold in the men's 100 meters at the 2022 World Track and Field Championships, if he doesn't mess it up for himself with a false start like he did at the Diamond League meet in Birmingham. At the following Diamond League meeting in Eugene, he proved he is in the form of his life by winning ahead of compatriots Kerley, Coleman and Lyles.

The same also with the 4 x 100 m relay. Currently, he is fighting his way back. But how far will he get?
3. ferdinand omanyala
Ferdinand Omanyala is the miracle runner from Africa who set not only his new personal best but also the new African continental record with his time of 9.77 s over 100 m 2021. He is so euphoric that he believes he can beat Usain Bolt's current world record of 9.58 s. With his season's best performance, he not only left top man Fred Kerley behind, but also proved his current top form.

6. bingtian Su
The Chinese Bingtian Su is an "old hand" when it comes to 100 m sprints. He has been running in track and field meets for 15 years and, at 32 years old, he is no longer the youngest. But that doesn't stop him from being one of the best, as he only broke the 10-second mark in 2015, and he also achieved his best mark last year at the Tokyo Olympics. Surprise egg or senior?
7. fred kerley
Fred Kerley is one of the fastest men on earth and shows himself to be one of the most complete runners in various disciplines ( 100 m, 200 m, 400 m) at the front. At the 2021 Olympics he took silver and that he is in top form is shown by his current results. He wants only one thing: to win and a medal is almost certain for him.
