Despite recent losses to Kenny Bednarek, Oblique Seville remains focused on peaking for the World Championships.

Oblique Seville might have lost to Kenny Bednarek in the first two Grand Slam Track events, but that is no bother for the Jamaican sprint king.

In the first leg of Michael Johnson’s track league in Kingston, Jamaica, Oblique Seville finished second in the 100m and fifth in the 200m.

In the second leg of the track league in Miami, Oblique Seville was also denied victory in both events, finishing second behind Kenny Bednarek.

Aside from the Grand Slam Track, Oblique Seville also won the 400m at the Camperdown Classics and the 200m at the Velocity Fest #16.

Competing in the 100m at the Atlanta City Games, Oblique Seville seemingly pulled up an injury during the race, being forced to finish third in the heats and missing out on the final. However, he has yet to address that.

Oblique Seville insisted that his preparations are mainly for the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan and how he performs at the moment should not be a problem.

Seville pointed out that he knows his capabilities and is working towards bettering himself ahead of the global showpiece, having missed the podium in a series of global events.

“My preparation is way different because you have to understand my season is this September. September is when the World Championship will be happening. So, for Kenny to beat me, I don’t really take it personally or anything, but I know what I’m capable of,” Oblique Seville said.

Oblique Seville finished fourth in the men’s 100m final at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The 23-year-old also finished to a fourth-place finish in the men’s 100m final at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

The 2025 edition of the global showpiece gives him a chance to redeem himself and hopefully this time around, he gets to walk away with a medal.
