Seville chases 100m Diamond Trophy as finals begin

WORLD Athletics Championships 100-metre champion Oblique Seville will lead Jamaica’s charge when the Wanda Diamond League Finals get under way at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, today.

Jamaica will have nine athletes in action on the opening day of the two-day season-ending championships, with Seville providing the biggest attraction on the track as he goes after the prestigious Diamond Trophy in the 100m.

The Jamaican contingent will also have a strong presence in the field events, with six athletes set to compete as the country looks to make an early impact at the 50th staging of the Allianz Memorial Van Damme.
