Jamaica's Oblique Seville has won 100-metre gold at the World Athletics Championships. He is the first Jamaican man to win a sprint gold since Usain Bolt in 2016. Bolt is the 100-metre record holder, with a time of 9.58 seconds. Seville won in a personal best of 9.77 seconds. Bolt is Seville's hero. It was a good night for Jamaica. It was a one-two for the Caribbean nation. Kishane Thompson, the fastest man in the world this year, got silver.
Seville was very happy after his win. He said: "I feel really…excited that the gold is coming home to Jamaica." He added: "I have proved that I am a true competitor." He said: "I knew if I had a strong finish, the others would not catch me." He was happy to win in front of Bolt, saying: "I have proved, in front of Usain, that I am a champion." Jamaica's one-two finish means a golden era for Jamaican sprinting is coming.
