Kishane Thompson has revealed what cost him World Championship 100 meter gold to Oblique Seville after settling for silver.
Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson admitted that a lapse in execution during the crucial stages of the men’s 100 metres final cost him the chance to claim gold at the World Championships in Tokyo.
Thompson, who clocked an impressive 9.82 seconds to secure the silver medal, was beaten by compatriot Oblique Seville, who stormed to victory in a personal-best 9.77 seconds.

Reflecting on the race, Thompson conceded that he never truly found his rhythm at the start, which impacted the rest of his performance.
‘I Got a Little Lost’ - Thompson

“I think I got a little lost at the start. It wasn’t my best race, but I’m happy I finished injury-free. I’m really glad we were able to finish one-two for Jamaica — it’s been a while since we’ve done that.
“ In terms of the time, that wasn’t the main focus for me. It was more about going out there and executing. Sadly, I didn’t do what I should have, but nevertheless, we move forward,” Thompson explained.
The 24-year-old sprinter, who has enjoyed a breakthrough season, admitted that the decisive factor came in the latter stages of the race, where Seville’s composure proved superior.
“Particularly in the last half of the race, I should have flowed a bit more. I’ll need to watch the replay to give a deeper analysis of what I did wrong, but I know I didn’t manage that section as well as I could have,” he said.
Tightening Up Played a Hand - Thompson
)
Thompson had finished second in the semi finals of his heat, which America’s Kenny Bednarek won, but both tied for a 9.85 time, which might have had a hand in his shaky top end speed.
Pressed on whether he tightened up as Seville surged ahead, Thompson acknowledged that it may have played a role.
“Yeah, more than likely. I wouldn’t say it was only that, but tightening up was definitely part of it. That’s an aspect I’ll need to work on,” he admitted.
Despite his disappointment, Thompson celebrated Jamaica’s return to the top of men’s sprinting, as the nation secured its first one-two finish since the Usain Bolt era. For Thompson, the silver medal represents both a milestone and a lesson as he continues to mature on the world stage.
With youth on his side and a clear understanding of where he fell short, Thompson remains firmly in the conversation as one of the brightest prospects in global sprinting. His focus now turns to refining his race execution, ensuring that in the battles to come, he can challenge not only Seville but the world’s very best for gold.
