Yohan Blake Beats Bolt Again, In 200M Trials by mumento007: 4:13am On Jul 02, 2012

KINGSTON, Jamaica -- No posing, no salutes, no fist pumping. First, Yohan Blake fell to both knees and rested his head on the track. A bit later, he simply paced in front of the jam-packed grandstand at National Stadium and stared into the crowd, letting all those fans soak in a nice, long look.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the man to beat at the London Olympics.

In a result that no longer feels like a surprise, Blake beat Usain Bolt in the 200 meters at the Jamaican Olympic trials Sunday, finishing in 19.80 seconds to edge the world-record holder by 0.03.

When it was over, Bolt was the first one to approach his training partner and buddy and give him a big bear hug. Moments later, Bolt was down on the ground, getting his right hamstring stretched out, while Blake was going through his understated celebration. At one point, he raised one finger to his mouth, as if asking everyone to "shhhhh." But the fans didn't listen. They now have not one, but two, legitimate gold medal prospects for the men's sprints in London.



"Usain always gives me a lot of encouragement and tells me to keep coming to this race," Blake said about the 200.

Another asinine Black man who bites and accuses a fellow black man of doing drugs on a whim. Your presence on this planet is by happenstance and limited. Your mom ought to had aborted you as a zygote.

This makes the Olympics 100/200m final more interesting - can't wait.
Re: Yohan Blake Beats Bolt Again, In 200M Trials by PROUDIGBO(m): 12:48pm On Jul 02, 2012
Usain looked like he was struggling towards the end, not like his usual relaxed self. On the other hand, Yohan looked relaxed from start to finish. It all looked so effortless for him.

And there i was thinking his 100 metres win was just a fluke shocked.
