Oblique Seville, seen here competing in the relays for Calabar High School, is a rising star in the 100m. He is being coached at Racers Track Club by the legendary Glen Mills.

Seville’s breakthrough year was 2019 when he won gold in the 100m in 10.24 seconds at the 2019 CARIFTA Games in George Town, Cayman Islands. He was also a member of the gold medal-winning team of the 4x100m at the same meet.

He also won the 100m at the Jamaican Under-20 Championships in Kingston with 10.13s. Seville also finished second in the 100m at the 2019 Pan American Under-20 Championships in San José, Costa Rica — with a 10.21 clocking — and won silver in the 4×100 metres relay.

Seville impressed again in April 2021 at the Jamaican Olympic Trials qualification, running the fastest 100m time. At the actual Jamaican Olympic trials in June 2021 for the delayed 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, he was the fourth fastest with 10.10 seconds. In the final, Seville finished third in the 100m behind Tyquendo Tracey and Yohan Blake to secure his place at the Olympics.

Seville chases more accolades and medals at the ongoing World Athletics Championships.
