Jamaican Sprinter Oblique Seville Records World's Fastest 100m Time of 2024

Posted : 02 June 2024

At the Racer Grand Prix meet, Jamaica's Oblique Seville clocked an impressive 9.82 seconds in the 100 metres, marking the fastest time in the world this year and surpassing reigning world champion Noah Lyles. The 23-year-old Seville outperformed his previous personal best of 9.86 seconds, aided by a tailwind of 0.9 m/sec. Lyles, the American star, finished closely behind at 9.85 seconds, narrowly missing his personal best of 9.83 seconds.

 

Reflecting on his performance, Seville expressed his surprise and satisfaction, highlighting the significance of achieving such a fast time without extensive specific training. "I feel good," he said. "I'm a little surprised. It's special to be able to run so fast without too much specific work. It shows that I can still do better." His success underlines his potential for further improvement.

 

Seville's training under coach Glen Mills, the former mentor of the legendary Usain Bolt, has been a key factor in his development. Since Bolt's retirement in 2017, Jamaica has been searching for a successor, and Seville's recent performances indicate he could be the one to fill those shoes. In previous major championships, Seville secured notable finishes, including fourth place in the 4x100m relay at the Tokyo Olympics and the 100m at the World Championships in 2022 and 2023.

 

In other highlights from the meet, Saint Lucia's Julien Alfred set a 2024 world-best time in the women's 100m with a time of 10.78 seconds, demonstrating her potential for gold at the Paris Olympics. Jamaican 19-year-old Jaydon Hibbert achieved the best world mark in the triple jump this year with a leap of 17.75 meters. Additionally, Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas won the 100m hurdles in 12.64 seconds, and American Trey Cunningham took the 110m hurdles in 13.12 seconds.
