Yohan Blake, who will be running with his training partner Usain Bolt will announce his intentions to how close he is to future sub 10.00 clocking. Blake the fastest junior in the world in 2007 with a 10.11 clocking at age 17 was expected to dip below 10.00 seconds clocking by some optimists last year. This would have undoubtedly happened if he had continued on his path to stardum injury free. With a nagging injury that he sustained earlier in the year, this dream was never realized. Now at age 19 and under the tutelage of the famed youth couch Glen Mills and also having training partner in none other than the great Usain Bolt, Blake issued early intentions with PB clocking in the longer sprints earlier in the season. Still early in the season, do not be surprise if Yohan Blake runs close to his PR or even PR in the 100 meters event tomorrow in Jamaica at the Lucozade/GC Foster Classic. This will give an early indication to the world where Yohan Blake is in his first professional 100meters program. It may also help to say where he will expect to be later in the season. Don't be shock because the track Guru warns that a relatively fast time is possible from both Bolt and Blake.

I hear you. I will be waiting with anticipation to see it. There is no doubt that he will be good, but to run that fast so soon in his first real outing as a professional will be an amazing feat.
I hope someone post the race as it happen....do you know of any sites that might be showing the meet or 100m??
One Love!!One Love!!!

he'll be 20 in december, so not a junior anymore
quick list of age related 100m
9.97 +1.5 Seun Ogunkoya NGR 28.12.77 1 Formia 13.07.1997 19 years, 6 months, 15 days
10.00 ±0.0 Carl Lewis USA 01.07.61 1r3 Dallas 16.05.1981 19 years, 10 months, 15 days
few more in 10.00 - 10.08, but those 2 are targets for a non-junior but still not 20

( reasonable SBs - consider JRM )
3s from 3 exchanges at 1s
0.3s from 2 curves adding ~ 0.15s each
marsh ran 10.00 1st leg ( unknown wind ) , probably worth 9.85 open ( unknown wind ) , back in '92 - consider this wind possibility in relay times

Eldrick, what leg would you have thought Bolt would be running prior to Beijing? The last time I recall an Olympic champion running 3rd leg would be 1976 Annegret Richter Germany. Hard to be critical of JAM having him on that leg after how they ran, still wonder if he could stretch out more on a straightaway.

Originally posted by InfamaAsafa has the2 fastest anchor leg splits ever.
8.84s in Osaka and 8.70 in Beijing.
Bolt ran the first sub9s 3rd leg at 8.98s in Beijing.
It would be foolish to mess with that combination.
Glenroy Gilbert was like that also - 2nd runner on canada's gold team in Atlanta. Just a brilliant relay runner.

Obviously young Blake has a world of "potential" not ready to start talking about being better than Carter and Frater just yet. We all remember ...Derrick Florence, Carter Suggs, Cyril Wyatt...right? Jamaica will run a sub37.00 sometime while Bolt and Powell are there, just a matter of time.

however, they woud need an excellent substitute on leg 3, which all things considered mean, they need a 20-flat guy there to run the curve ( albeit dennis mitchell did run superb 3rd legs & wasn't a 20-flat guy ) - as 20-flat shoud normally mean a very fast curve runner ( not always, but usually )
seeing as they haven't got one, apart from safa who will stay on anchor, there is no point considering a change until at least another jama runs say, a 19.9 ( you'd also want 9.9 in him )
