Coach Glen Mills has detailed Oblique Seville's injury as he pointed out how they will be working smart to make him lethal in 2025.
Oblique Seville was one of the prospects to medal in the men’s 100m at the Paris Olympic Games but it was not a good day in the office for him as he faded to an eight-place finish in the final.
The Jamaican sprint sensation was off to a great start, winning the heats before beating Noah Lyles in the semifinal and securing a spot in the final.
However, tables turned in the final as he went on to finish eighth, crossing the finish line in 9.91 seconds. Seville had earlier confirmed that he had an injury but it was getting better before he headed to the Olympic Games.

'I never grew up with a lot of love' – Shericka Jackson opens up about childhood struggles and how they shaped her aggression
Shericka Jackson revealed her childhood struggles, including emotional walls built from instability, shaping her aggressive nature on and off the track.
However, in a recent interview with his coach Glen Mills, Sports Max reported that he had a couple of issues and his groin was just but one of them.
Usain Bolt’s former coach noted that the issues have since been addressed and Seville just jetted back into Jamaica from the US a few days ago. He explained that they are currently working step by step to get him into the right shape ahead of 2025.
“The groin was only one of the issues. His groin, I would say, is about 90-odd per cent healed, but there are some other issues with his bio-chemistry,” Mills said.
“He just came back from America, where he underwent tests and analysis. We are trying everything to get him to be at 100 per cent, and we are very hopeful that, eventually, we will solve the problems.”
Meanwhile, despite the injury setback, Seville has enjoyed an amazing season, especially at the start of 2024. He started out with a 400m race at the Camperdown Classic where he won the race before heading to the Velocity Fest 14 where he also claimed top honours.
Seville went on to shock Olympic 100m champion Noah Lyles in the men’s 100m at the Racers Grand Prix, making him a favourite of the Jamaicans since he did that on home soil.
