The full-length story of Jamaica’s national football warriors — their rise, defining moments, and the high-stakes showdown with Curaçao today […]
Under the lights of Icahn Stadium in New York City, history met history.
On Friday, October 10, 2025, the world watched as Serena Williams — one of tennis’s greatest icons — crowned Jamaica’s own Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce with a Tiffany & Co. crown at the ATHLOS NYC event. It was more than a ceremony. It was a coronation of legacy — the moment when one queen of sport anointed another for a lifetime of brilliance, resilience, and unmatched speed.
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.
Jamaica’s dominance on the track continues to evolve in fresh ways. On day four of the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, the men’s 110m hurdles final became a showcase of grit, growth, and glory for the island.
Jamaican pride was on full display at the World Athletics Championships as the green, gold, and black took centre stage in the stands and on the track. From the moment the athletes lined up, the atmosphere was electric, a sea of flags, colours, and cheers that carried the rhythm of Jamaica across the stadium.

Allan “Skill” Cole was more than Jamaica’s greatest footballer. He was a cultural bridge who carried the island’s pride onto the world stage. From becoming the youngest ever Jamaican international at just 15, to making history as the first Jamaican to play in Brazil’s top league, Cole embodied brilliance and courage. His famous 1975 clash with Pelé in Kingston’s “Battle of the Giants” remains etched in football folklore, while his role as Bob Marley’s tour manager and co-writer of the timeless anthem War linked him forever to reggae’s global rise. His story is one of talent, patriotism, and legacy, a life that will inspire generations to come.
Jamaica’s sprinters and hurdlers are once again set to light up the international track and field stage as a wave of rising and established stars head into two major competitions this weekend.
