2025 Lausanne Diamond League: Oblique Seville Wins Men's 100-Meter Over Noah Lyles
The 2025 Lausanne Diamond League saw Jamaica's Oblique Seville win the men's 100-meter dash with an impressive time. On Wednesday, despite the challenging weather conditions, Seville managed to clock a time of 9.87 into a -0.3m/s headwind. The 24-year-old with a strong start maintained a lead throughout on the wet tracks and managed to surpass Olympic champion Noah Lyles in the process. "Running 9.87 in those conditions shows I can go much faster, anywhere in the world; that's a good time," said Seville in the post-race interview. Notably, Lyles, who claimed to have "had a really bad reaction to the gun," posted a time of 10.02 to settle for the second position. After a slow start, Lyles managed to move past the field and crossed the line with Jamaica's Ackeem Blake in a photo finish. This was the second time Lyles, who has yet to win any 100-meter races at the Diamond League this season, was edged out by Seville in this category. Last month, at the London Diamond League, Seville posted a time of 9.86 seconds while the world champion was forced to claim the second position in 10.00 seconds. After defeating Lyles twice this season, now Seville hopes to bring back Jamaica's dominance in the sprinting category, feeling "a lot of confidence heading into the championships." On the other hand, Lyle's 2025 season has been entirely different from what he had expected it to be. After making a comeback in July following an inflamed tendon injury, the sprinter has competed in fewer races than he'd like, including only four 100-meter races this season. "I really wanted to get back on the scene, and then having to take a slower approach to get back, into finally starting in July, it's been rushed, to say the least," Lyles stated in a press conference before the Lausanne meet. The 28-year-old is now looking for redemption on the tracks of Zurich at the Diamond League final before defending his titles at the World Championships in Tokyo. Nonetheless, Noah Lyles, who has been focusing more on the 100-meter event this season, will face tough competition from both Kishane Thompson and Seville in the category. Furthermore, the growing rivalry with teammate Kenny Bednarek and Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo will pose a major threat to his 200-meter title as well.

Inverclyde juniors impress in Aberdeen as young athletes bring home two medals
YOUNG Inverclyde athletes brought home a brace of medals from the North East after a stunning showing on the big stage - though it wasn't just the medallists who caught the eye. Inverclyde Athletics Club members travelled to Aberdeen last weekend for the National Group Track & Field Championships. IAC youngsters competed in the under-20 age group event over both days of the competition, while the under-15 events were held on the Saturday and the under-13s on Sunday. Cara McDougall was first to compete for IAC, taking part in the first under-15 1500m time trial and showing an attitude brimming with positivity as she finished fourth. (Image: BOBBY GAVIN) (Image: BOBBY GAVIN) In the second race, Olivia Lyne, ranked third, set off determined to make an impact on the race, and led the group which were close together for the first two laps, holding off Aberdeen's Emily Taylor. With 500m to go it looked as if bronze was going to be the best she could achieve. However, half way down the back straight, Olivia regained control as she caught up with Imogen Turner and over the last bend opened up a gap to be clear in second place. (Image: BOBBY GAVIN) Olivia wasn't done there and with 50m to go she had caught up with Taylor and edged ahead to cross the line in first place. After a conservative start in the under-15 boys' 1500m, Charlie Lyne grew in confidence and he overtook several athletes over the final two laps and another two on the run to the finish to cross the line in eighth. Sol Currie, competing in the pole vault, javelin and sprint hurdles, cleared two new heights in the first of those disciplines to win bronze and IAC's second medal of the meeting. Though no more medals were won in the under-13 competition on the Sunday, each IAC competitor recorded at least one new personal best. Rosie Callan and Rosa Currie took part in three events, beginning with valuable experience in the high jump before Rosa recorded a personal best in the javelin - a feat Rosie matched in the long jump, taking second place in pool two. Rosie finished her day in the 800m, running in the fastest heat and moving through the field at the start of the final lap to take up fifth place; despite a great effort, and with third place not too far in front, that was where she finished. Rosa, meanwhile, recorded her second PB of the day in her final event, the 70m hurdles. Ollie Bonnar, in his first competition at this level, took fifth place in the first boys' under-13 800m race thanks to a fast finish, and recorded a personal best in his second and final effort in the long jump. Last up for IAC was Louis Reid in the U13 boys' 1500m - and in his first year in the age group, Louis impressed, going head-to-head in a final lap battle with East Kilbride's Jack McMillan for third place; agonisingly for Louis, it was his rival who crossed the line ahead, taking bronze by the incredibly tight margin of two hundredths of a second. A club spokesperson added: "The club coaching team are delighted and full of praise for their performances, the efforts made by our young athletes and their manner and attitude which will support their development and progress. "Many thanks must go to the parents and families who travelled to Aberdeen encouraging and cheering on all the athletes from the district."
