Jamaica’s Seville runs 100 m world best time of the year
Sprint star Oblique Seville has set a world best time for the year in the 100m. At the meeting in Jamaica's capital Kingston, the 23-year-old local hero crossed the finish line in 9.82 seconds.
World champion Noah Lyles from the USA came second in 9.85 seconds. Previously this year, no athlete had ever run under 9.90 seconds under regular conditions.
Seville has yet to achieve any major individual successes, having finished fourth at the last two World Championships, narrowly missing out on a medal in each case. At the Olympic Games in Paris in just under two months' time, Seville wants to succeed his compatriot Usain Bolt.
The former superstar won Olympic gold in the 100m in 2008, 2012 and 2016 and still holds the world record. Bolt sprinted to the world title in 9.58 seconds on the blue track in Berlin in 2009.
