On a historic evening in Tokyo, Jamaica once again rose to the pinnacle of world sprinting. Oblique Seville, a 24-year-old sprinter from St. Thomas, stopped the clock at 9.77 seconds in the men’s 100m final to capture gold at the 2025 World Athletics Championships. His electrifying performance not only secured a personal best but also restored Jamaica’s dominance in the marquee sprint event—ending a nine-year wait since Usain Bolt last held the crown in 2015.

Seville’s victory came in a thrilling race where he edged fellow Jamaican Kishane Thompson, who claimed silver in 9.82, and American Noah Lyles, who settled for bronze in 9.89. The result marked a powerful statement from the island known worldwide as the sprint factory: Jamaica was back on top.
