National 100m sprint star Oblique Seville says he’s motivated by a personal desire to honour the memories of his father who passed away during the early stages of his career.
The 24 year old Seville was still a student at Holmwood Technical when he lost his father.
Seville, who later went to represent Calabar at Boys and Girls Champs where he became 100m champion, has gone on to become one of the world’s leading sprinters.
The man who reached the 100m final at the Paris Olympic Games last summer, says he runs with his father in mind every time he takes to the track and he’s determined to honour his name.
Seville is well advanced in his preparation for the upcoming season and he told Nationwide Sports that things are progressing smoothly.
Seville lost a much hyped 100m final to Kishane Thompson at the National Championship last year and finished well outside the medals in Paris, but he says his handlers are working hard to make sure there’s no repeat of that.
