Yohan Blake might deliver a sub 10.00 intention warning!!!

[euan Track Guru]

Yohan Blake, the Junior who will no doubt in the future allow Jamaica to be the first Sub 37.00 4x100 team might deliver a sub 10.00 warning tonight.

Can someone in his 20's really be considered a Junior?

Two races this year, two PB's. He is gradually improving.

As far as I know, he is 19.

[The Atheist]

Oops, for some reason I thought he was born in like 1987.

I guess that explains why everyone keeps getting all hysterical over him.

I mean not really, but still a little moreso than if he was like 22 years old.

Same thing I am thinking too. He is the one we will mostly likely used if he is healthy ...in Berlin. I look for a sub-10 before JA nationals or at the JA nationala in June. I think that false start throw him off today. Hell, he still beat some season veterans and he was the youngest in the field.

Yes he is only 19yrs old (last December). All the information on Jamaican athletes is on IAAF.org website. The list of their DOB is their.

They even have Jazeel Murphy and Chris-Ann Gordon, they are two of many to look out for in coming years. Too bad Jazeel Murphy and Gordon is too young to be at World Youth Championship this year. They have to wait a few more years.

He was indeed 19 years old last December, but that means he is no longer a Junior since he turns 20 this year.

Why the pin pointing? The guy is still only 19yrs old, he still could've taking part in the recently concluded Carifta games.

If the Junior world championship was this year, I don't see any reason why he couldn't have taking part. Because his birthday would've come after the meet and not before.

Unfortunately, that's not the way it works.

Zackly. Age eligibility for international Youth and Junior competition is governed by your age at the end of the year of the competition. You have to be no older than 19 years old on December 31st of that year in order to be a Junior. It's IAAF Rule 141 if you want to look it up.

Thank you for the cynical unconstructive critism.
