JAMAICA IS BACK! For the first time since Usain Bolt’s fifth and final No. 1 in ’16, the islanders have a No. 1. And they have a 1–2 for the first time since Yohan Blake joined Bolt at the top in ’12…
THE CHOICE FOR No. 1 was not all that simple, although in the final analysis, Oblique Seville’s WC gold was the deciding factor over Kishane Thompson. The WC silver medalist, with a 2–1 head-to-head edge and a superior average of top marks was a most worthy runner-up for the second year in a row…
WITH NO LOSSES to fellow Americans, Lyles was a logical choice for the No. 3 position over arch-rival Kenny Bednarek…
With Trayvon Bromell in 6 and Christian Coleman in 7, the U.S. had a quartet of scorers for the fourth year in a row (after an overwhelming 7 in ’21). Jamaica had 3 and South Africa had 2 for the first time ever.
