As he prepares for the Paris Olympic Games, Oblique Seville has shared some fun facts for fans to get to know him better.
Seville finished second in the men’s 100m at the Jamaican Olympic trials and will be flying the flag high at the Olympics, with plans to be a podium finisher after several fourth-place finishes.
In an interview with Rori Dunk, a former Jamaican athlete, Seville was asked questions about his favourite Olympian and the high school he attended. He also spoke about his favourite dishes and places he has yet to visit in Jamaica.
Speaking about his favourite Olympian, Seville said: “Everyone knows, the one and only Usain Bolt. I used to attend Calabar High School.”
Seville added that he was ‘happy’ to be representing Jamaica one more time after shinning the flag high at the 2022 and 2023 World Championships in Oregon and Budapest respectively. He was also in action at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

“Maybe Ocho Rios,” he said of his favourite place to visit in Jamaica, adding that one of the places he would love to visit in Jamaica would be Handover.
He added that his favourite Jamaican meal is a mixture of rice, peas and pork, adding that he is not a fan of music and he rarely listens to music before any races.
“Maybe I go on a little vacation. I always miss the food when I’m outside the country (Jamaica),” he said, adding that basketball is his other favourite sport.
