Breaking news : thought Kishane would run 9.68′- Donovan Bailey looks back at Paris Olympics men’s 100m final

 

Jamaican-Canadian sprinter Donovan Bailey has explained how he over-estimated Kishane Thompson and Oblique Seville going into the men’s 100m final at the Paris Olympic Games

 

The double Olympic champion disclosed that watching the final, he thought Kishane Thompson would run under 9.70 seconds and Oblique Seville would be right behind but it was not the case when the men crossed the finish line

 

The race was won by Noah Lyles, who clocked 9.79 seconds, milliseconds ahead of Kishane Thompson. Fred Kerley rounded up the podium, clocking 9.81 seconds. Oblique Seville faded to eighth-place, clocking 9.91 seconds.

 

Donovan Bailey explained that watching both of them compete, he could see how exhausted and not in the moment throughout. The two-time world champion said watching Oblique Seville run reminds him of his final World Championships when he lost to Maurice Greene.
