Jamaica’s Oblique Seville and Ryiem Forde delivered outstanding performances to punch their tickets to Sunday’s final of the men’s 100m at the 2023 Budapest World Athletics Championships.

Seville displayed a masterclass of a race to hold off the fast-rising Letsile Tebogo of Botswana (9.98), and stifled Fred Kerley of America’s (10.02) hopes to defend his title. Seville ran a time of 9.90 seconds.

Forde was up against a stacked field with world leader Zharnel Hughes of Great Britain and former world champion Christian Coleman of America. But the 22-year-old held his composure to claim a third-place finish, punching his ticket to his first major 100m final.

Meanwhile, national champion Rohan Watson had to settle for sixth in semi-final one in a time of 10.07 seconds. His race was won by Noah Lyles of America in a season’s best of 9.87.

The Jamaicans will go up against Coleman, Lyles, Tebogo, Hughes, Japan’s Abdul Hakim Sani Brown, who ran a personal best of 9.97 and Kenya’s Ferdinand Omanyala (10.01).

The final of the men’s 100m is scheduled for 12:10 pm Jamaica time.
