Jamaican sprint sensation Oblique Seville, fresh off his historic 100m gold medal win at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, is gearing up for a strong comeback. The 24-year-old, who clocked a personal best of 9.77 seconds to claim his first individual global medal, is now focused on building greater strength as he sets his sights on competing in both the 100m and 200m events next season. Seville’s victory ended Jamaica’s eight-year gold medal drought in the 100m and marked a significant milestone in his career after previous near-misses at the 2022 and 2023 World Championships and the 2024 Olympics. Upon returning to Jamaica on September 24, Seville underwent a minor procedure to remove toenails on his big toes, which required at least a month of recovery. He has since reported a smooth recovery and is eager to resume training at the Glen Mills-led Racers Track Club. Seville attributes his recent success to a revamped strength training regimen tailored to his compact 5 ft 7-inch frame. While he acknowledges significant progress, he believes there is still room for improvement. ‘I’m 50 per cent stronger, but I still need a lot of improvement,’ he stated during an interview on Leighton Levy’s Mr Analyst podcast. Seville’s ambition extends beyond the 100m, as he aims to make a mark in the 200m, an event he has long aspired to dominate. ‘I want to be as good as the top three athletes in the world that run the 200m,’ he declared. With a personal best of 20.13 seconds in the 200m, Seville is determined to break the 20-second barrier and join the elite ranks of Jamaican sprinters who have achieved this feat, including legends like Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, and Warren Weir. Seville’s journey is a testament to his resilience and dedication, as he continues to push the boundaries of his potential in the world of sprinting.
