Oblique Seville was in scintillating form in Heat Five of the men’s 100 metres, as a personal best of 9.86 saw him easily winning to move into the semi-finals at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary today.

The diminutive Seville had a long wait for the race to get underway but capitalised on a decent start to take the event ahead of United States of America’s Fred Kerley, who clocked 9.99 seconds, with Sweden’s Henrick Larsson closing out the top three in a time of 10.16 seconds.
