Diamond League Silesia 2026: Oblique Seville flies to men's 100m win

Jamaica's Seville clocked 9.83 at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial to beat Kenny Bednarek and Christian Coleman on Sunday, 23 August.

Oblique Seville won the men's 100m at the Silesia Diamond League on Sunday (23 August), clocking a meeting record 9.83 to beat Kenny Bednarek and Christian Coleman at the Stadion Śląski in Chorzów, Poland.

The reigning world champion, running from lane five, clocked 9.83 to shave 0.04 seconds off the meeting record of 9.87 set by Fred Kerley in 2024. The time was just 0.01 shy of his season's best 9.82. Noah Lyles retains the 2026 world lead with the 9.79 he ran in New York on 24 July.

Kayinsola Ajayi , who'd beaten Seville in both London and Eugene earlier this season, was fourth in 9.94, with Gift Leotlela fifth in 9.95.

"I am in pretty good shape and I feel pretty good about the win," Seville said after the race. "I am in great shape for the Ultimate Championships. The atmosphere here is great and I will look to come back next year.

"This is my first time in Poland. The victory feels nice, especially as I ran close to my PB. I am just having fun. There are great things ahead of me. For the rest of the season, I would like to keep winning, and the next win should be in Brussels."
