The rivalry between Noah Lyles and Oblique Seville is building up nicely ahead of the Olympic Games as the world's fastest man has declared he's not losing again to the Jamaican in Paris.
New crowned US champion Noah Lyles has downplayed the possibility of Jamaica's speed sensation Oblique Seville beating him again in Paris and disclosed he has already mastered the youngster's weakness.
Seville defeated Lyles at the Racers Grand Prix, running a well-executed race with a perfect start to stop the clock in a new Personal Best (PB), Meeting Record (MR), and world-leading time of 9.82s to the American's 9.85s.

His time was the fastest time by a Jamaican man since Usain Bolt ran 9.81s to win the 100m final at the Rio 2016 Olympics, thus making the talented speedster one of the favourites for a medal at the Paris Olympic Games.
With the rivalry now set up for a highly anticipated clash at the Games, Lyles has openly declared he's not losing again.

'Be scared' - Noah Lyles sends strong warning to rivals, declares loss to Oblique Seville has only given him more confidence
Noah Lyles sent a strong warning to his rivals to be scared as he gets better whenever he loses a race.
"It's gold in Paris. It's all going to be gold," said the world's fastest man when asked what colour of medal he's aiming for in Paris in an interview with JTG Live following his 100m victory at the US Olympic trials.
"I'll tell you why though, I study my competitors. I knew that man was going to be ready for that race. Don't get me wrong, I was ready but he was obviously more ready on that day. But I'll tell you what, there’s a difference from running in Jamaica to running at an Olympics.

"I've seen how you handle your rounds , I study my competitors, I know where your weakness is, I know what your strengths are, I'll be ready,"
While Seville's win on home soil was the major highlight of the meet, another thing that struck was him looking over at Lyles before crossing the finish line.

Meanwhile, Seville will aim to make the Jamaican team at their Olympic trials to have a rematch with Lyles.
