WORLD leader Oblique Seville won the men’s 100m in his debut appearance at the Meeting International d’Athlétisme Herculis at Stade Louis II in Monaco, the tenth stop on the Wanda Diamond League series, on Friday, running 9.88 seconds before pointing to his motivation to keep winning.

Seville, who won his first National Championships title last month with a world leading 9.82 seconds and who was beaten a week ago at the Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon said while he respects all his opponents, he should get respect as the world champion.

He held off American Jordan Anthony, who was second in 9.92 seconds and Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme who took third in 10.00.
