More Than The Score - From Bolt to Seville: Jamaica's men back on top

Download From Bolt to Seville: Jamaica's men back on top

Jamaica's Oblique Seville put Jamaica’s men back on top of the sprinting world with victory in the 100m at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo – becoming the first Jamaican man to win the world title since Usain Bolt in 2015.

With Jamaica back on top of the podium, and with Seville’s compatriot Kishane Thompson securing silver, what do their performances mean for the world of sprinting?

Ed Harry and Ade Adedoyin are joined by Jamaican track and field journalist Andre Lowe to discuss Seville’s performance and what it means for Jamaica and the sprint events going forward.

They also reflect on the legacy of Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce after the final race of her glittering career, whilst also getting the thoughts of Bolt on the three-time Olympic and 10-time world champion.
