Jamaica's Bryan Levell recently ran 19.69 seconds in the 200m at the Hungary Continental Tour meeting in Budapest. This performance makes him the 3rd fastest Jamaican in history and is the fastest time any Jamaican has run since 2015 when Usain Bolt won Gold at the Beijing World Championships. Considering the performances Bryan has been able to put down over the past 2 years, is he now in serious consideration for a medal at the 2025 World Championships?

The 2025 USA Championships is kicking off on July 31st and the entries are now set, though some changes may occur over the next week. The top sprinters are all planning to line up in various different events to secure their spots to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. A few athletes will be attempting doubles in the 100 and 200m, while others will focus in on just one event including the 100m, 200m, 400m, and others. Lets breakdown some of the sprinters, why they are choosing the specific events to compete in, and also some athletes who are not showing up to USAs.

Bryan Levell from Jamaica ran a new personal best of 9.82 seconds in the 100m. That makes him the 2nd fastest athlete in the world in 2025, and also makes him the 8th fastest Jamaican 100m sprinter in history. Though Bryan did not qualify for the 2025 World Championships in the 100m, he has qualified in the 200m and already has a windy mark of 19.79 to his name this year. What does this performance mean for Bryan's potential in the 200m and also Jamaica's 4x100m relay?

2024 Olympic 400mH gold medalist and world record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has confirmed that she will be running the 400m at the 2025 USA Championships. Because she does not have the wild card to the 2025 world champs, this likely confirms she will contest the event against Olympic & World Champion Marileidy Paulino and 2019 world champion Salwa Eid Naser. But this does make things complicated for the USA 400m team.

London DL Full Results: https://london.diamondleague.com/programme-results/
The 2025 London Diamond League was one of the most important meets on the calendar for a few athletes for various reasons. Oblique Seville making his Diamond League debut vs Noah Lyles in the 100m, Jamaica's 4x100 looking for a qualifying mark for the world champs, even the Men's Long Jumpers looking to identify who may be the favorite for the world championships.
Today I recap the sprints, hurdles and jumps from the London Diamond League and discuss implications as we continue to move through 2025.

Oblique Seville has been one of, if not the most consistent 100m sprinter for Jamaica over the past 4-5 years. He has made every global championship, including making the past 3 finals, from 2021-2024. But, despite his consistency, he unfortunately has yet to win an individual medal of any color at either the Olympic Games or World Championships. There are various reasons that have led to him not medaling, but in 2025, he has made a few changes that seem to indicate he is on a path toward getting onto the podium at the 2025 World Champs in Tokyo later this Summer. But just like previous years, the path will not be easy.

Marie Claire article: https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/shelly-ann-fraser-pryce-interview-2025/
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is the greatest 100m sprinter of all time, and one of the greatest track and field athletes in history. She recently announced that 2025 would be her final season competing in the sport, and that last year’s Paris Olympics was her final Games. At those 2024 Olympics, Shelly competed in the first round of the 100m, but surprisingly did not show up to compete in the semi-finals and ultimately left Paris, ending her 16 year long Olympic career. This was a shock to the track & field world, and for almost a year she never provided a clear explanation as to why she chose not to compete. In July 2025, she sat down with Marie Claire and finally explained what occurred in Paris last year.

At the 2025 Monaco Diamond League, Noah Lyles returned from from injury and 3 months away from competing to win the 200m ahead of Olympic Champion and World Leader Letsile Tebogo of Botswana. This race continues a growing rivalry between Noah and Letsile that has grown over the past 3 years and is a stepping stone towards the World Championships in Tokyo later this year. Though Letsile is the reigning Olympic Champion, Noah is the 3x defending world champion. Who is the favorite for the 200m Gold medal and can any one else, such as Kenny Bednarek, spoil the party and finish ahead of either of them?
