Seville Claims First Diamond League 100m Win

Oblique Seville claimed his first Diamond League 100m victory in London, clocking 9.86 seconds to defeat Olympic champion Noah Lyles, who finished second in 10.00 seconds. Seville led from the start, holding off a field that included Lyles, Letsile Tebogo, and Zharnel Hughes. The win was particularly significant for Seville, as he avenged his previous defeat to Lyles at the Paris Olympics. Lyles, who recently won the 200m in Monaco and was returning from an ankle injury, could not overcome Seville's early lead despite a late push. Seville described the triumph as 'special and phenomenal,' underscoring his readiness for the upcoming World Championships. The result cements Seville's rise as a major contender in global sprinting.
