Career

Sevilla was part of the Spanish team that won gold at the 2017 European Athletics U23 Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland in the 2017 European Athletics U23 Championships – Women's 4 × 100 metres relay. In 2022, Sevilla's new personal best time of 22.86 placed her as the second fastest Spanish woman over 200m of all time, behind only Sandra Myers.[1][2] When subsequently winning the Spanish national athletics championships shortly afterwards Sevilla actually ran a lower time than her new personal best, winning in a time of 22.73, but it was classified as a wind assisted race.[3]

Sevilla was part of the Spanish 4 × 100 m team that finished fifth at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, twice breaking the Spanish national record. The team had initially broken the national record running 42.61 in the qualifying heats to qualify for the final.[4] In the final the following day they lowered the national record again, to 42.58 seconds.[5]

She was then announced as part of the Spanish relay team for the 2022 European Athletics Championships in Munich. In Munich, Sevilla also competed individually in the 200m and finished tenth fastest in the semi-finals.[6]

She ran as part of the Spanish 4 × 100 m relay team at the 2024 World Relays Championships in Nassau, Bahamas.[7] She was selected for the 2024 European Athletics Championships in Rome in June 2024.[8]

She competed in the 4 x 100 metres relay at the 2024 Paris Olympics.[9][10]
