Sports / Usain Bolt Vs Yohan Blake: Jamaican Sprinter's Rivalry With Fastest Man Alive by yourstruly5(m): 5:44pm On Aug 24
Find out everything you need to know about the greatest rivalry between the two fastest men of all-time Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake.

Two of Jamaica’s biggest track stars Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake once had the same coach and trained together. The pair were also members of the famous team that won gold in the 4x100m relay for the reggae-nation at the London 2012 Olympics.

The quartet of Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Michael Frater and Nesta Carter ran a world record 36.85 seconds. The gold medal was never in doubt the moment Yohan Blake handed the baton to Usain Bolt, who anchored Jamaica home in record time - a record that stands till today.

However, like it is common to all men, rivalry, jealousy and envy is inevitable in such a competitive sport as athletics. Usain Bolt and Johan Blake have a fair share of such incidence.

This article breaks down all the details, separating facts from rumours, bringing balance to a topic that has divided fans over the years.

Usain Bolt vs Yohan Blake - Background story

Unarguably the fastest man alive, Bolt who turned 38 years yesterday, August 22nd, 2024 set a blistering 9.58 seconds 100m record that is yet to be broken. The closest anyone has come to that time is fellow Jamaican Yohan Blake who ran 9.69 seconds in 2012. USA’s Tyson Gay also ran 9.69 seconds back in September 2009 in Shanghai, China.

Despite Blake’s impressive abilities, he was always in the shadows of the more-renowned Bolt, and it was only a matter of time before issues began to rise.

Back in 2019, during an exclusive interview with Outlook, the second fastest man in history opened up on his rivalry with his compatriot and training partner and how sharing the same coach put him under the shadows of Usain Bolt.

Blame my coach - Yohan Blake on being overshadowed by Usain Bolt
[img][/img]

Yohan Blake blamed coach Glen Mills who didn’t allow him race against Usain Bolt on numerous occasions, even though they trained together a lot of time.

The 34-year-old accused his older companion of always wanting to win and believed nobody could stop him. However, Blake is of the opinion that he could have been the one to ‘break’ Bolt.

“We trained a lot but didn’t race as much; the coach didn’t make us do that. Bolt was different. When we were taking two strides, he was taking one, that’s how good he was. Bolt alw­ays wanted to win and thought nothing can break him. I knew I could have broken him but a lot of tra­ining mix-ups happened, it’s a long story,” Blake said.

When pressed further to reveal details of the ‘long story,’ Yohan Blake pointed accusing finger at his coach. He said:

“I do regret not competing against him as much as I had wanted but it’s not my fault, it’s my ex-coach’s fault. But that’s behind us and I am looking to the future. When that guy Bolt is dominating you, it is not easy to emerge from his shadow. When I won the world championship in Daegu (Korea) in 2011, clocked 19.26 in Brussels and timed 9.69 in Lausanne in 2012, I created my identity.”

Blake was also asked if he feels Usain Bolt who quit athletics aged 31 retired early. To this he responded by saying, “Don’t think so. Bolt said he has achieved everything possible and he pulled up in his last race (relay) in the 2017 World Championship at London. One has to train continuously for years to keep pace in athletics.”

No wonder Matip will help leverkusen but which one be magician

Xhaka was the magician last season. Matip could just prove to be the marquee signing this season.

Xabi Alonso’s exploits in the dug out will attain a legendary status.

His recruitment and management reflects a man that knows what to do.

Identifying and signing free agents will be key to retaining the high standards he had set for himself.

The jury is drooling and waiting for him this season


I totally agree with you. Man is silently going about his business to maintain the heights of last season. BUT can they go unbeaten again?
Sports / Xabi Alonso Set To Sign EPL Magician After Granit Xhaka To Maintain Unbeaten Run by yourstruly5(m): 3:43pm On Jul 19
After an impressive 2023/2024 season, Xabi Alonso has identified another key player that will make his team difficult to defeat.

Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso is not resting on his oars, as he is on the move to land another key player that would bolster his squad.

The former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich legend is set to raid one of his former clubs, Liverpool, for Cameroonian defender Joel Matip.
Joel Matip in action for Liverpool.

32-year-old Joel Matip is available for free after his contract with the Merseyside club expired at the beginning of July.

Last season, Xabi Alonso led Bayer Leverkusen to its first-ever Bundesliga triumph, beating the likes of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund to the title.

Like Xhaka, like Matip - Alonso aims to keep winning[size=12[color=#000099][/color]pt][/size]

One of Alonso’s magical decisions was the addition of former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka, who joined for £21.4m from the Gunners.

The addition of an experienced center-back like Joel Matip to partner Jonathan Tah could also prove to be another masterstroke by the highly revered Xabi Alonso to ensure his side maintains the high levels of last season.

Sports / Gianfranco Zola: Why Moises Caicedo Wears Chelsea's Iconic Number 25 Shirt by yourstruly5(m): 12:35pm On May 20
Chelsea's midfield maestro Moises Caicedo scored a glorious goal yesterday in the Blues 2-1 win over Bournemouth.

Moises Caicedo beat Cherries goalkeeper Neto from the halfway line when a loose ball broke to the Ecuadorian.

Caicedo's effort has been tipped to win the 2023/2024 Premier League goal of the season ahead of some other fantastic strikes by Manchester United's Garnacho and West Ham's Kudus.

Who wore Chelsea's iconic jersey number 25 before Caicedo?

Before the arrival of Caicedo, Chelsea faithfuls adored the number 25 jersey because it was adorned by a man they love - Gianfranco Zola.

Zola played for the Stamford Bridge outfit between 1996 and 2003, scoring 80 goals (59 in the EPL) and 38 assists in 312 games across all competitions for the club.

The Italian magician was voted Chelsea's greatest-ever player by fans of the West London club, winning 60% of the votes in 2003.

Reports have it that when Roman Abramovic took over at Chelsea, he did everything possible to keep Zola (including offering him an improved contract), but the Italian stuck by his guns because he had already given his word to Cagliari - a club in his native.

People always trying to draw their own down in this country, from hatred for dangote, saying he is fg made billionaire, to this guy. some of American billionaires admit they sold cocaine to be where they are today, Jeff bezos, Amazon CEO also received massive support from US government, We saw how US stop hauwaii and xiomi from gaining dominance, they made sure Apple reigns despite the bad history of their board of directors, they are more interested in what the company will big to the nation, US is by far the country with the most billionaires. And they are ready to do create more, and not spoil the little the have.

In Nigeria, our Aba made product was gaining dominance small small, not until we Nigerians we localized it, any small things that is fake we call it Aba made, here in Nigeria we never complained when companies like indomie, that french blue carton sugar, honeywell cheese balls owned by white people were gaining dominance, but when dangote started his own, his cements, sugar, that's when we remember what Monopoly is, many people would have become billionaires in this country, custom officials have ruined their careers, custom officers are Nigerians ooo. Here we tackle evil people around us that those outside. What a wrong country to be in.


I'll have loved to reply you but I'll pass. And for the people liking and sharing this comments, I have absolutely no words too.
It's why we're here today. People attack truth, instead of admitting wrong!

Good day.

I am a graduate of FUTMINNA and I studied Industrial Chemistry with a CGPA of 2.38 (Third class) while 2.4 is Second Class Lower.

I want to run my PGD at University of Ibadan, but I don't really know whether to go for Analytical Chemistry or Pharmaceutical Chemistry.

Please, help me analyse the 2 courses base on labour market and value.

Which one is a better option for a 25 years old graduate?

Nobody can analyse anything better than you. Get the brochure, check if you qualify to apply for any of the listed courses. Go online, read extensively about the courses, ask those studying them and make your decision.
