Noah Lyles has a message for Oblique Seville, following the Jamaican's reaction at the finish line.
Following his defeat to Oblique Seville at the Racers Grand Prix, Noah Lyles has a message for the new Jamaican speed king ahead of the Paris Olympic Games.
Seville claimed a famous win over the world 100m champion in a new Personal Best (PB), Meeting Record (MR), and world-leading time of 9.82s, as Lyles finished closely behind in 9.85s - his second-fastest career time.
With his memorable victory, Seville became the fastest Jamaican since Usain Bolt ran 9.81s to win the 100m final at the Rio 2016 Olympics, and the youngster is one of the favourites for a medal at the Paris Olympic Games.
