The world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, has disclosed the athlete he is banking on to win a medal for Jamaica in the men’s 100m race at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Bolt believes that 23-year-old Oblique Seville has the ability to do well on the global stage, after finishing fourth in the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary last year. The youngster also managed to finish fourth in the 100m final at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
Bolt also believes the male sprinting in Jamaica is now coming up with the likes of Rohan Watson, Seville, Ackeem Blake, Ryiem Forde, and Kadrian Goldson.

Seville has already carved out a name for himself as one of Jamaica's most promising talents, and along with the others, carries the hopes of a nation known for its sprinting prowess.
“I think these athletes represent our chances, but it is all about execution. I think over the past years, it (Jamaica’s male sprinting) has been struggling, but I do think that Oblique has been keeping it alive.
“He has made all the finals so far; it is just for him to now get in the top three. And I think it's just consistency. I think the one thing with Oblique is that he always gets injured, but hopefully, he can be consistent this season and stay on the right path and he'll be fine. So, I'm just looking forward to seeing them,” Bolt, the ambassador for Red Stripe’s ‘Guh Fi Gold and Glory’ campaign, said.

Check out the 17 athletes sanctioned by the AIU dominated by Kenyan and Indian stars
AIU released a list of athletes sanctioned in April, spearheaded by Kenyan, Indian, and Russian athletes.
However, other sprinters from America have been shaping the world of sprinting from time to time. They include triple World Champion Noah Lyles, and World Indoor 60m champion Christian Coleman.
Botswanan wunderkind Letsile Tebogo and Great Britain’s Zharnel Hughes have also been making headlines in the world of sprinting.
“Let's see what happens. I think it's early. No one is doing anything, and I haven't seen anything impressive so far.
“So, I think it is still wide open. I am really hoping Oblique can break into the top three this time around. I think he has always worked hard over the years, and he is always in the final and always doing well. So hopefully, he will break into the top three,” Bolt said.
