Oblique Seville won Jamaica’s first men’s world 100m title in 10 years after outpacing Kishane Thompson and defending champion Noah Lyles for gold in Tokyo — making good on a bold prediction from the legendary Usain Bolt.
Seville timed a personal best of 9.77sec for the victory with Thompson taking silver in 9.82sec while Lyles claimed bronze with a time of 9.89sec.
It was the Caribbean island’s first world sprint title since Bolt, watching from the stands, won the 100m and 200m double at the 2015 world championships in Beijing.
“It’s an excellent feeling,” said Seville. “The last time a Jamaican got the title was in 2015 and that was Usain Bolt.
