Kayinsola (Kanyinsola) Ajayi wins the men’s 100 metres at the London Diamond League on Saturday, July 18. Multiple reports say Ajayi finishes first in 9.84 seconds, fending off reigning world champion Oblique Seville. Seville runs 9.87 to take second at the London National Stadium. Romell Grave of Team GB is reported to place third, rounding out the top three. One outlet also says the 9.84-second win matches Ajayi’s national record, and notes that he has beaten Seville previously at the Prefontaine Classic earlier this season, again with the same time of 9.84 seconds. The reports agree that the race is contested tightly between Ajayi and Seville, with Ajayi holding on by 0.03 seconds. The London Diamond League 100m result therefore puts Ajayi ahead of the world champion in back-to-back meetings described by the outlets, with the final placings reflecting the same time gap between the top two athletes in London.
