The Australian sprinter's become a rising star in the athletic world for his impressive performances in various competitions, which have seen him blaze past his opponents on his way to the finish line.

We're going to see how he ended up prepping for the world stage ... and how he took a major loss in stride.

Oblique Seville's been through his fair share of ups and downs on his path to becoming the world's fastest man -- and we're here to check all of them out.

The Jamaican sprinter didn't earn constant victories over the course of his career, but his hard work paid off, as he eventually took home the gold at one of the most high-profile track and field competitions out there.

Here's a look at how the athlete put in plenty of effort before becoming a world champion.

Oblique's originally from Kingston, and his interest in racing began at an early age, according to the Olympics' official website.

The athlete started racing older opponents as far back as his kindergarten days, and although he briefly considered dropping the sport in high school, he picked it back up after coaches began noticing his talent.

His professional career kicked off in 2019, when he won gold in the 100-meter dash at the CARIFTA Games and the Pan-American U20 Championships.

Oblique's mother claimed her son, despite being "extremely broken" about the death of his father the year before, still managed to find the strength to compete at both sports events.

Oblique's Olympic career began in 2021, when he took part in the delayed 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, although he ended up not qualifying for the 100-meter dash final.

The athlete also competed at the World Athletics Championships in 2022 and 2023, and he finished fourth in both 100-meter dash finals.

Oblique later began training with Glen Mills, who helped the world's former fastest man, Usain Bolt (also from Jamaica) -- whom the runner described as his "idol" -- reach his peak potential.

Seville competed in the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, and coming in at eighth place in the 100-meter dash final event.

Oblique's hard work eventually paid off in a big way, as he took home the gold at the 2025 World Athletics Championship in Tokyo.

The athlete came on out top at -- you guessed it -- the 100-meter dash event, where he finished with a personal best time of 9.77 seconds, according to The Guardian.

Oh, and it's worth mentioning Bolt was in attendance at the event, and Oblique admitted he felt "proud" of being able to prove himself in front of the former world champion.

Ryan Lochte is celebrating his sobriety ... admitting he fell into a "really dark place" a few years ago -- but after checking himself into a rehab facility for substance abuse issues, he's doing better than ever.

Lochte explained his journey ... saying he struggled in the aftermath of a serious car accident when he crashed into a garbage truck on his way to pick up his kids from school in 2023 ... and he experienced "depression, loneliness and feeling like I was giving up in life."

Robots are taking everyone's jobs -- and apparently even Olympic athletes aren't safe, 'cause a major ath-tech-ic competition kicked off in China ... with every microchip gunning for a championship!!

The three-day World Humanoid Robot Games launched on Friday ... with a whopping 280 teams from 16 countries competing for the crown -- while also conducting research on A.I. and electronics in the process.

The events range from kickboxing to track, soccer, table tennis and more (unsurprisingly, swimming didn't make the cut) ... and while there have been plenty of highlights, there have also been some moments that would be shoo-ins for "Shaqtin' a Fool."

Sha'Carri Richardson clearly didn't have much remorse in the immediate aftermath of shoving Christian Coleman into a wall ... as new police video shows she not only lied about the incident to cops, but repeatedly called her Team USA star boyfriend "a coward."

Michael Phelps is a man of his word ... 'cause one week after accepting the Baltimore Ravens' invite for some swimming lessons, he delivered!!

As we previously reported, guys on the squad asked Phelps for help after taking a dip in the new Under Armour Performance Center recovery pool ... and the diehard Baltimore fan happily volunteered to assist.

Sha'Carri Richardson's recent domestic violence arrest apparently hasn't impacted her ability to sell shoes -- the track star is front and center on Nike's official website.

Richardson's imagery is currently plastered all over the Swoosh's store to help promote the Vomero Plus sneaker ... showing an edited image of her posing on top of the product, with her hand and signature fingernails holding it up.

It's quite interesting considering the Olympic medalist was arrested less than two weeks ago after getting physical with her boyfriend, fellow Team USA athlete Christian Coleman, at a Seattle airport after an apparent dispute over headphones ... which was captured on surveillance video.

Olympic gold medalist Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, fellow athlete Christian Coleman.

The reporting officer says they reviewed security footage showing a verbal altercation escalating into a physical one when Richardson shoved "Coleman hard enough that it [sent] him crashing into a nearby column."

It was pretty funny ... with Humphrey, Ronnie Stanley, Kyle Hamilton and Charlie Kolar all urging the Olympic swimmer to help show them the ropes.

When they finally arrived on Tuesday morning, it was too late to help Dahlmeier ... whose management team told CNN she specifically requested no one risk their lives to recover her body in the event of an accident.
