Just behind came his training partner, the American Tyron Bromell. In fact, there was discussion at the end of the race about which of the two athletes had actually finished first. A good sign in view of the next commitments, including that of May in Rome and especially the Paris 2024 Olympics. Although the time is not yet sufficient.
