Kayinsola Ajayi Hits 9.84 Again to Defeat World Champion Seville in London — 1 of 5
1 / 5

Kayinsola Ajayi stunned the Novuna London Athletics Meet by clocking 9.84 seconds to win the Diamond League 100m. He outpaced world champion Oblique Seville for the second straight meeting and matched his national record against a 0.7m/s headwind. This was the third time Ajayi hit 9.84 in 2026, following wins in Kentucky and Eugene. His dominance over Seville now reads 3-1 this season. At 21, the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor champion heads to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games as a serious gold-medal favourite.

His back-to-back wins over Seville are impressive, but wind conditions seem to play a bigger role than people realise.

Stunning result, sure, but can we really compare these meetings when athletes might be resting key stars for bigger championships?

Coaches should analyse his start reaction and mid-race mechanics carefully before the next meet to gain more competitive edge.
