Schuine Sevilla beats defensive world champion Noah Lyles in the 100m

After placing last place in the Olympic final of Paris, Jamaica’s oblique Sevilla finally broke through his championship curse and rose to first place. Sevilla ran 9.77 for a new personal record and became the first Jamaican man since Usain Bolt in 2015 who won the 100-meter Dash World title.

Sevilla is known for excellent races for regular season and performing masterful rounds in large championships. Last year in Paris, Sevilla led a textbook race against Olympic champion Noah Lyles in the semi -final. This year Sevilla Lyles defeated Diamond League in the Lausanne. The newly crowned world champion produced six Sub-90 versions this season and established its dominance of the regular season.

During the Prelims in Tokyo, Sevilla had a slow response to the starting gun. His competitors were already two steps ahead before he left. He succeeded in qualifying for the semi -final, although his mistake almost cost him his chance for the victory.

Sevilla was fourth at the Eugene and Budapest world championships. After three championships of not securing a medal, Sevilla immediately ran to a victory that he and Jamaican fans will remember forever.

“Over the years I have shown my talent and showed my class that I am a medal candidate,” said World Champion Seville. “Last year I became eighth and now to win the gold medal is something special for me.”

The victory of Sevilla spoiled what a new record could have been for most consecutive men 100-meter Dash World titles that are held by a single country if Lyles successfully defended his crown. The US and Jamaica are tied three in a row.

Sixth fastest man of all time, Kishane Thompson helped Jamaica’s 1-2 Sweep to solidify in Tokyo, with 9.82 for Silver. Thompson was an important favorite for gold this morning. The Olympic silver medal winner ran 9.75 to place his name in the history books only three months ago.

Until today, Thompson is unbeaten this season in the 100-meter dashboard. The Olympic silver medal winner ran throughout the season with little to no criticisms of form and competitive nature. Although silver is not what he had hoped for, Thompson was happy to share the two best places on stage with his countryman.

“I’m not really worried about time; it was more of the performance,” Thompson said. “Nevertheless, I am injury -free ready, I have a medal, I am grateful.”

Lyles closed the stage and ran a season of 9.89 for bronze. The Olympic champion discussed some unwanted setbacks related to injuries throughout the season, but he did not let him keep it to strive for gold. Lyles had one of his best starts of the season in the 100-meter final, but it wasn’t enough to get the leap on Sevilla and Thompson.

While Lyles began to activate his characteristic top speed, his Jamaican competitors continued to withdraw from him. Although bronze is not what he hoped for, Lyles successfully added another medal to his impressive CV.

Lyles went to X to express his thoughts and good spirits.

The greatest sprinter of all time and world record holder, Bolt, did various interviews that led to the championships and discussed his thoughts about the men’s sprints. Bolt had faith in Jamaica’s chances to go 1-2 in the final. The legend was accurate with his prediction.

“There is no reason why they should not be 1-2 because they are the top fastest times in the world this year,” Bolt said. “It’s about going out of it and execating … I am confident that they can get it done.”

Sevilla and Thompson will probably meet Lyles again on the 4×100 meter relay. For this, the 200-meter Dash American Record Holder will try to earn its fourth consecutive 200-meter Dash World title. If Lyles is correct, he will bind Bolt’s record for most consecutive dashboard titles of 200 meters.

Kenny Bednarek was for the first time outside the stage in Tokyo; However, this is an upgrade of the Olympic final, where he finished seventh. Just like Lyles, the 100-meter dashboard is the secondary event of Bednarek. He has two Olympic silver medals in the 200-meter dashboard and has made every championship stage since the Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Bednarek will be looking for a gold medal when he raced the 200 -meter dashboard. He was able to beat Lyles twice, both on the Olympic stage, but he still has to beat him in a final of the world championship. He will have a lot of fuel from its fourth place and his loss at the American championships to push him to a medal upgrade.

Apart from Sevilla, Thompson, Lyles and Bednarek, the Jamaica versus USA rivement keeps alive, the most striking observation of the race is that 50% of the finalists came from African countries, a strong performance for an event that is usually dominated by the aforementioned countries. Two men represented South Africa: Gift Leotlela and Akani Simbine, then Kayinsola Ajayi and Letsile Tebogo represented Nigeria and Botswana respectively.

Ajayi is the first collegial athlete since Christian Coleman in 2017 to make the 100-meter final of the gentlemen. He is also the first Nigerian man to make the final in 18 years. The Athlete of the University of Auburn ran a 9.88 personal record to be eligible for the semi -final. From there he placed in the top two in the semi -final to automatically earn a place in the final. He then ran 10.00 in the final for a solid sixth place.

Leotlela and Simbine placed fifth and seventh to show the sprint dominance of South Africa. They ran 9.95 and 10.04 respectively.

Olympic champion Tebogo is absent in the final results. Unfortunately, the sprint star of Botswana was disqualified for a false start. He will fight for redemption in the 200-meter line against his strongest competitors, lyles and Bednarek.

Tomorrow’s promotion starts at 5:35 am Est on CNBC and Peacock with the 400-meter Hurdleprelims from the men. The World Athletics website Has live results and a complete schedule for fans to keep track of.
