For 80 meters, Kishane Thompson looked like the man to beat. Exploding out of the blocks in the men’s 100-meter final at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, the Jamaican sprint sensation surged into the lead, his long, fluid strides daring the field to catch him. But just as in Paris a year ago, the closing meters would tell the story. This time it wasn’t Noah Lyles, but his countryman Oblique Seville who reeled him in. Thompson crossed the line in 9.82 seconds, securing the silver medal behind Seville’s blistering 9.77 – the fastest global final since 2019. For Thompson, it was validation: back-to-back podium finishes at the sport’s biggest stages, and proof that Jamaica has not just one, but two world-class sprinters carrying the legacy of Bolt and Blake into a new era. His silver, paired with Seville’s gold, delivered Jamaica’s first men’s 100m 1–2 at a global championship since the London Olympics. He spoke to Anderson Emerole about the 100m final at the World Championships. ____________ Host: Anderson Emerole | @atkoeme on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ Guest: Kishane Thompson | @ iamkishane_ on Instagram Produced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ____________ PRESENTED BY ASICS For the third consecutive year, CITIUS MAG is proud to partner with ASICS for our global championship coverage.
