Noah Lyles’ chance of winning the gold medal is in jeopardy after the recent clash between his Jamaican rival Oblique Seville and a famous German doctor: “9.67 in Paris (Olympics)”

Noah Lyles’ chance of winning the gold medal is in jeopardy after the recent clash between his Jamaican rival Oblique Seville and a famous German doctor: “9.67 in Paris (Olympics)”

When it comes to athletics, we have often witnessed exciting rivalries. But Weird Seville And Noah Lyles have given new impetus to the rivalry between the USA and Jamaica. The Olympic bronze medalist has been on an unstoppable winning streak of late. Lyles had four gold medals in his sights in the French capital. But the World Championship bronze medalist’s remarkable performance at the Racers Grand Prix could put that goal in doubt.

Sevilla faced the reigning 100m world champions on his home court on June 1. Based on their previous encounters, Lyles was confident he had it in the bag. But Sevilla turned heads when he sped past Lyles to the finish line and effortlessly set a new world record. Fans have still not forgotten his impressive performance in Kingston. But Sevilla’s recent visit to a famous German doctor has raised some eyebrows and stoked anticipation for the upcoming Summer Games.

Attentive fans were surprised by Seville’s Instagram story on July 11. The Jamaican had posted a picture of himself and Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt. A fan posted the picture on X and wrote: “Oblique Seville was spotted with the famous German doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt, who has treated Usain Bolt, Jürgen Klinsmann, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jonathan Woodgate, Kelly Holmes, Maurice Greene and many others.“Could it be that he is making sure he is at his best before stepping onto the biggest stage in the world?

Müller-Wohlfahrt, affectionately known as “Neck-Healing Hans,” has helped legendary sprint icon Usain Bolt on several occasions. Once in 2010, when the Jamaican was battling a serious back injury. After winning the 100-meter race at the 2016 Summer Olympics, Bolt thanked the doctor before the Olympics for helping with another injury. It looks like Sevilla will follow in the legend’s footsteps to make sure he has everything under control just weeks before the Paris Olympics.

Earlier last month, the Jamaican showed off his incredible form at the Racers Grand Prix at the National Stadium in Kingston. The 23-year-old dominated the course, crossing the finish line in 9.82 seconds. Noah Lyles followed close behind with 9.85 seconds on the clock. Seville not only beat the Olympic bronze medallist’s personal best of 9.83 seconds, but also surpassed Bolt’s record of 9.88 seconds set in 2016.

If that didn’t reignite the rivalry between their nations, then an iconic image of Sevilla watching Lyles slowly reach the finish line certainly did. His stellar performance on home soil may have cemented him as a possible successor to the legendary sprinter. What does that mean for Sevilla at the upcoming Paris Olympics? And why was he in Germany just weeks before the Summer Games? Some fans may have a few ideas.

After hearing about Sevilla’s meeting with Müller-Wohlfahrt, many fans took to social media to speculate about what this could mean for the sprinter. One fan simply stated: “9.67 s in Paris. Believe me.“Right after his impressive performance at the Grand Prix, Seville picked up another silver medal at the Jamaican Championships on June 28th. Another fan commented: “Jah white 9.72 Oblique see“If the Jamaican was able to complete both events in 9.82 seconds, many believe it would be just as easy to beat that time!

One fan shouted: “Glad to see his health is a priority! I’m not sure if YES athletes have access to dynamic PT. But the US athletes have top notch facilities with very modern technology and rehab resources as part of their programs!“It’s no surprise that the athlete needs to be in top form for the Olympics. And another fan agreed: “He will get all the help he needs to deliver his best performance in Paris“A little nudge never hurt anyone, right? The general consensus seems to be leaning in that direction too!

One fan, however, was more concerned: “Do you have any medical conditions that could affect him in Paris?“Jamaica’s winning streak in major competitions with Usain Bolt is a story that deserves to be told. Many hope that Seville can repeat that, but they also hope that what happened in Rio with Bolt is not repeated. Many fans are also looking forward to seeing the Jamaican win in the French capital. And why not?

Seville secured second place in Jamaica’s Olympic qualifying heats with a time of 9.82 seconds, finishing behind Kishane Thompson, who seemed unstoppable with a time of 9.77 seconds. Completing the podium was Ackeem Blake, who also ran a sub-10 time of 9.92 seconds. But wait, there’s more. We’ll see Lyles and Sevilla compete at the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris. Will the Jamaican re-establish his dominance on the world’s biggest stage? Only time will tell!
