Oblique Seville On Winning World Championship Gold In The 100m, Restoring Jamaica Atop The Sprints, His Rivalry With Noah Lyles + Early 2026 Ideas
“When I crossed that finish line and ripped my shirt off, I was like, ‘Yeah!’ That was one of my best moments… It was a dream come true, something that I’ve been wanting for years. I’ve dreamt about that moment and I finally got that moment!”
Our guest today is Oblique Seville — the new 100-meter world champion and the man who brought Jamaica back to the top of men’s sprinting. On a humid night in Tokyo in September, Seville ran 9.77 to win his first global title, the fastest championship final in six years, and the first for a Jamaican man since Usain Bolt. It was a performance years in the making and the fulfillment of potential we’d seen flashes of since he was 21 and running 9.86 for fourth place at the World Championships.
In past championships, it was always something — an injury here, a tight groin there, or a perfect semifinal that came one race too soon. But this year was different with two big Diamond League wins, a healthy buildup and a conviction that his time had come. He said in the mixed zone: ‘This is my year. I’m going to take this moment and no one is going to take it away from me.’
In this episode, we talk about how he finally made it happen — the lessons learned from setbacks, the mentorship of coach Glen Mills, and what it means to carry Jamaica’s legacy forward after Bolt.
Oblique Seville isn’t loud, and he doesn’t need to be. His running does all the talking. Without further ado, please welcome – the world’s fastest man.
