Oblique Seville continued his dominance over the United States’ Noah Lyles with another impressive victory at today’s Wanda Diamond League in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Seville powered to 9.87 seconds in the men’s 100m despite heavy rains, a wet track, and a negative wind of 0.6 metres per second.
Bent on avenging his earlier loss to Seville at the London Diamond League — and coming off another defeat to Jamaican Kishane Thompson at last Friday’s Silesia meet in Poland — a fired-up Lyles was visibly determined at the start as he sought redemption.
That, however, was not to be. With his trademark explosive start out of the blocks, Seville stamped his authority early and cruised to a commanding win.
Lyles, who was left for dead at the start, had to play catch-up and just managed to edge Jamaica’s Ackeem Blake for second. Both were credited with 10.02, but the American was given the nod.
