AMERICAN JEFFERSON AND JAMAICA'S SEVILLE WIN 100S AT WORLDS; SHA'CARRI FINISHES FIFTH

TOKYO — Melissa Jefferson-Wooden of the U.S. and Oblique Seville of Jamaica won the 100-meter finals at world championships Sunday in a changing of the guard in track.

The 24-year-old Jefferson-Wooden blew away the field, finishing in 10.61 seconds to break Sha’Carri Richardson’s two-year-old world-championship record. Richardson barely squeezed into the final and finished fifth depite running a season-best 10.94.

Seville, also 24 and who works with Usain Bolt’s old coach, Glen Mills, reeled in countryman Kishane Thompson for a win in 9.77. Defending world and Olympic champion Noah Lyles finished third.

Bolt watched this one from a luxury box - his first return to a big race since he exited the sport in 2017 - and was high-fiving and hugging friends when he watched a Jamaican win the men’s title for the first time since he left.

There were some who argued Seville, not Thompson - who adds this silver to his silver from Paris last year - was the best young sprinter on the island. Seville has a winning record against Lyles, but has not been able to put it together in the biggest races.

This time, he did - falling behind by about two steps halfway through the race despite getting the best start, but never panicking, then, step-by-step, closing the gap on Thompson.

The women’s race was pretty much over as soon as it started. Jefferson-Wooden blew away Jamaica’s Tina Clayton by .15 - the same margin Olympic champion Julien Alfred, who finished third this time, beat Richardson by in Paris last year.

Richardson, who trains with Jefferson-Wooden, wasn’t the same runner as last year or the year before when she won worlds.

After finishing third in her semifinal heat, she had to wait to see if she’d get one of the last two spots. She did and started on the inside in Lane 2, but was never a factor. While Jefferson-Wooden jumped and shouted into the stands, Richardson slowly paced the inside of the track with her hands on hips.

The second-place finish for Clayton kept Jamaica on the podium on the night its best female sprinter, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, said goodbye with a sixth-place finish.

MELISSA JEFFERSON-WOODEN STUNS JULIEN ALFRED AT 100M EUGENE WANDA DIAMOND LEAGUE

 

MELISSA JEFFERSON BREAKS SILENCE AFTER ENDING JULIEN ALFRED'S STREAK AMID SHA'CARRI RICHARDSON STUMBLE

Melissa Jefferson silenced her critics and stunned the sprinting world by defeating Julien Alfred in the 100m at the Prefontaine Classic, cementing her resurgence as a serious World Championship contender.

Melissa Jefferson-Wooden delivered one of the most defining victories of her career at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, when she defeated Olympic champion Julien Alfred and teammate Sha'Carri Richardsin in the 100m dash.

Jefferson clocked 10.75 seconds to edge out Alfred, who came in at 10.77, marking Alfred’s first loss of the season.

The performance came just weeks after Jefferson posted a world-leading 10.73 at the Philadelphia Grand Slam, further cementing her status as a top contender in the 2025 season.

Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith ran a season-best 10.90 to finish third, while Jamaica’s Tina Clayton placed fourth in 11.02.

American favorite Sha’Carri Richardson had a shockingly off-day, finishing last.

Speaking after the race, Jefferson emphasized that her win was more than just a one-off, but a result of hard work, discipline, and a sharpened mindset.

“I'm showing up every day for myself, even on the hard days. The goal is not just to be in these races, but to dominate and win," she said.

Jefferson acknowledged the strides she’s made in embracing the full scope of professionalism in track and field.

“I think the biggest thing for me this year is learning how to become a professional athlete and what that really means,” she reflected.

“It’s my own journey. I’m my own boss. But I have to be disciplined enough to stay true to that vision.”

Her resolve to stay healthy and consistent comes in sharp contrast to the challenges she faced in 2024, when an early injury delayed her season.

“I look back at that girl in Paris last year and I had all the heart, but not the strength,” she admitted.

“This year, my focus is on staying healthy and seeing just how far a healthy Melissa can go.”

Redemption at Hayward Field

Hayward Field has seen mixed fortunes for Jefferson in the past, but Saturday’s sunny conditions and electric crowd helped set the tone for her powerful run.

“I’ve had good times and bad times here, but when the sun shines in Eugene, I know it’s going to be a great day,” she said, beaming.

“To come out here and see all those amazing fans, it’s just so good.”

Jefferson’s victory not only ended Alfred’s undefeated streak but also sent a message to her competitors as the World Championships loom.

OLYMPIANS NOAH LYLES AND JUNELLE BROMFIELD ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT

Noah Lyles proposed to his girlfriend, Junelle Bromfield, on Saturday, he announced in a video posted across his social media accounts.

The 2024 Olympic gold medalist in the men's 100m dash popped the question in front of a bundle of pink flowers shaped into a heart with petals on the floor and candles around them. Bromfield quickly said yes before flashing the ring on her finger.

Lyles and the Jamaican Olympic sprinter have been dating since summer 2022.

During the 2024 Paris Games, Lyles' post-victory activities after winning the men's 100m final included bringing Bromfield's spikes back to her hotel room at 2 a.m. after she left them at the Olympic Village.

"So here I am at 2 a.m., waddling with a spike bag, my bag and some toiletries, and I'm like, 'Huh. Here I am, Olympics champion, 100 meters, waddling to my girlfriend's room with all this stuff,'" Lyles said, laughing. "I'm a good boyfriend."

Bromfield ran in the women's 400m and 4x400m relay and the 4x400m relay mixed in Paris. She won a bronze medal as part of Jamaica's women's 4x100m relay team in Tokyo 2020.

NOAH LYLES TAKES MEN'S 100M GOLD BY NARROWEST MARGIN IN DRAMATIC OLYMPIC OLYMPIC FINAL

 This was an Olympic 100m final that felt like a brawl: messy, exhilarating, extraordinary, raw. As the world’s eight best male sprinters crossed the finish line in an almighty heap, their form disintegrating as their desperation grew, the giant stadium screens gave no indication of the result. Only the word “photo-finish” was by everyone’s name.

In the desperate seconds that followed, Noah Lyles, the American who is track and field’s greatest showman, went over to the young Jamaican star, Kishane Thompson. “I think you’ve got the Olympics, big dog.” For once, though, Lyles was wrong. But only just.

It came down to just five thousandths of a second: the width of a torso, a blink of an eye. That was the margin between gold and silver, and gap between Lyles and Thompson, after their heads bobbed over the line in 9.79sec.

When he saw that victory was his, Lyles began sprinting again around the track, stars and stripes in hand, embracing the delirium. “He was in lane 4, I was in lane 7, so I couldn’t really see what was happening,” he said afterwards. “I continued to run like I would win it. Something told me: ‘I need to lean.’ It is that type of race. It was crazy.”
