Oblique Seville produced a mouth-watering performance before a home crowd at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica on Saturday to upstage world champion – Noah Lyles to claim the men’s 100m title at the 2024 Racers Grand Prix.
The Jamaican sprinter [Seville] ran a personal best and world leading 9.82 meters to claim the title ahead of American World champion Noah Lyles and Kenya’s Ferdinand Omanyala.
Lyles’s time in second was a season’s best 9.85 while Omanyala ran 10.02 in third.
“I came out here in front of my Jamaican fans looking for a personal best and to get it today means a lot to me,” Seville said after the race.
“I just came out here to deliver. You’re always going to have ups and downs with the wind but you just have to run through it,” he added.
“As long as I’m healthy, expect good things,” was Seville’s response when asked about what fans can expect from him at Jamaica’s Olympic trials set for June 27-30.
