Commentator nearly said Usain Bolt pouring it down the straight, and Colin Jackson said he's the second fastest ever american. Why can't the commentators get it right? Yohan Blake is not AMERICAN, he's JAMAICAN.
You got the "nearly said Bolt" part right, but the commentator never said that Yohan Blake was the second fastest American. He was referring to Walter Dix when he said, "....and that 19.53 is the 4th fastest of all time. Now, of course, he is the 2nd fastest American ever." Listen to it again carefully and you will notice this. However, among Americans, i think Tyson Gay may have ran the second fastest time in the 200m. I need to verify that though.
Ladies and gentlemen, when a person defies the laws of physics, it's natural to ask. I asked the same about Usain Bolt when he broke the world records. Yet Tyson Gay ran the second fastest time ever running down the greatest starter in this century, Asafa Powell with a hernia. Jams, give us room to ask questions for it human to do so. Welcome YB and god bless you son.
We rarely dont get to have 2 jamaicans run the 2 fastest 200m in history. Now imagine if Yohane Blake ran the first curve without consulting UB. He certainly would have broken the 200m record. I am cool with speed and I want speed that is deserving. Everyone saw UB's "how" when the kid didn't even run the first 100m. Imagine Yohane with UB and Tyson Gay. Pls in a world that;s real, we should stop running away from asking questions. That aside, YB will be the first person to run sub 19 undruged.
Check out Yohan Blake's expression when he saw 19.26 on the timer @ 4:16 then check out how he had to glance a second time @ 4:25 to make sure he saw 19.26 Lol...Priceless!
Yohan Blake come to fame when he ran down Tyson Gay in the 200m (19.78) for second place in 2010. At that time he noted that his top end speed was superior to Tyson's and if he could work on his start he'd be a threat this year 2011. That performance signal his maturity from a timid teenager on the pro level to a bold and fierce competitor as he ran a PB out of lane 8 and almost clip Tyson on the line. Tyson and Asafa are worried scared of this kid and they'll be dodging him alot in 2012!
@kingofsprints you are sooo sooo right... i totally agree with everything you said... 2012 will be interesting but tyson and asafa cant dodge as they like because they would probably meet up on usain when they dodge blake :)
@kingofsprints I came to the same conclusion after watching that race back then. I was like: this guy is faster than Gay.. And he ran a crazy time from lane 8. I thought if he had a better lane draw it's game over. It's the same for the 100m too. I remember Gay ran 9.78 or something and Blake was running him down in the end.
Yohan Blake put his all into that race where as when Usain Bolt hit a 19.19 he was not a 100% in terms of fatigue and was slowing down near the end. I think Yohan Blake has hit his optimum speed where Bolt still has much more to bring to athletics and will break the 100m and 200m records again however you still have to give credit to Yohan Blake
@rgejsv How can you say Yohan hit his ultimate speed when he had the worst start to begin with, and ran the worst bend of any winner in recent memory by running a 10.3 first 100m and ran the fastest second 100m ever 8.96(unofficial). Imagine if he had ran the race Usain had in 2009? I'm not saying he's faster than Usain but, 19.19 would've been a thing of the past. So based on this race it is very clear he could've gone faster. Imagine if he improve in the 200m, by 2012 that'll be a showdown.
@rgejsv Disagree, Yohan Blake not reach his best in speed to the line, he's growing, plus he ran a slow curve. Watch out for him at 2012, he'll run his best then. The beast is ready to show the world what he can run, and i have faith in him. But not sure he'll beat Usain Bolt, as for Tyson Gay don't rule him out, but Walter Dix will have to play catch-up. Even though the race is for anyone on the day. Love all the athletes, they bring joy and laughter to my living room.
I THINK BOLT WILL BE THINKING THIS GUY CAN PUT ME UNDER PRESSURE OR MAYBE EVEN BEAT ME, BU THAT IS JUST IN TIMES, ON THE DAY ITS TH PERSON WHO BRINGS THEIR A GAME ON THE DAY THAT WINS.
People begin asking how fast could he go, I would answer World record- Blake's reaction time was quite poor (0.269), a good 200m sprinter should react below 0.15s. From that point, he would easily run 19.16s, World record by 0.03s.
Walter Dix thaught he had the 200m race all wrapped-up. Yohan Blake beat him in the 100m so he'd beat him in 200m race. Like Carmelita Jeter thinks, she came in for gold and VCB said no, silver is yours. lol
@luke4rap I understand why you would say that but Bolt is still just a baby himself, not much older than Blake. I'm an american but I realize that Bolt and Blake are good for track. To me you just have to believe that an elite guy like Bolt will give us new world records in London next year. I hope it's like Evelyn Ashford and FloJo from 1988 in Seoul!!!
The idea of Bolt peaking in 2008/2009 may shock some, but should not be dismissed. Bolt is clearly an elite athlete that needs strong challenges to bring out his best. Having said that, Tyson is just the right kind of Guy to keep Bolt sharp. If he is fit, then Bolt will be forced to step up. Next year's Olympics should be a real athletics and sprinting wonderland. Can u imagine all those guys fit and sharp?! mouth watering to watch
I never thought I'd say this but even if Usain Bolt is at his best, that is EVEN IF he is in the EXACT same shape and running as well as did in 08 in Beijing, even THAT might not be good enough to beat Blake. Scary thing is Blake is 21 and will only improve. We might even see a sub 19 seconds 200 metres !! To me, the thing about Blake is that HE LOOKS fast, like REAL fast. Let's hope Bolt and Blake stay fit and on top of there game and have a winner takes all race in London 2012.
Blake has a strange technique in the last 100m! The greatest sprinters tend to lose power in the straight line! But Blake remain solid, Even Bolt at the end tends to have shoulders all over the place. It looks like he is on
For all that keeps saying Blake will beat bolt in the 200m,lol its not impossible but just remember that both world records that bolt set in the 200m were done in a head wind.nuff said
i see ur point with sayin blake might beat usain in the 200m next year but u have to remember usain is still gettin better, no doubt yohan is a beast but usain is the fastest for a reason ...but we shall see, because usain has a way of slowin down in long races, but i think he is workin on that, he has to be after seein yohan do his thing, so we shall see, but make no mistake, dis bwoy yohan blake got a serious need fa speed.......but i still believe the bolt is loaded....we will see though

I think Blake would take Bolt in a 200m sprint, Bolt seems to slightly lack endurance especially evident towards the end of the 200 which is what you need (Bolt is faster over shorter distances however)
I'd love to see Usain Bolt try and run the 200m with this strategy, taking it really relaxed for the first 100 and then just tearing shit up during the last 100. With this in attitude towards the distance, I believe Usain could run under 19.10.
No disrespect towards any jamaican, I think they produce great athletes that are clean like melaine walker and usain bolt but when an athlete runs their fourth 200 metres of 2011 and their seasons best time is 20.33 and they get a slow reaction time out of the blocks but manage to cross the line in 19.26 seems a bit spooky. 20.33 to 19.26 means that yohan blake interms of distance improved his seasons best time by 12 to 13 metres which is an astonishing chunk to find in just half a lap!
I'm so sorry for Walter Dixx , first Usain Botl , now Yohan Blake , he better get used to coming third at best ..Jamaica to the flippin world..I cant wait to see the comments for the Americanns who for years been leading in track and field after being doped up for years..The truth finally come to light.
does it not seem odd, he recently broke his PB in the 100m by about 0.10 seconds and now has smashed his PB in the 200m by about 0.50 seconds.
I dont know what everyone else thinks but something isnt right there.
it might hav something to do with him winning the WC in the 100m, that giving him more confidence, but congrats to him anyway, second fastest in history.. now thats an acheivement :D
To all you people saying bolt takes drugs or its suspiscious bolt was the most drug tested athlete in the beijing olympics drug tested 6 times i think instead of concentrating on drugs give props where they are due to blake and bolt, also look in to the science of why jamaicans run so fast.
@Bigmattyboi86 im not trying to be purposely belligerent here but with regard to drug testing, being drug tested at a competition doesnt really clarify anything because they dont need drugs at that time. The time to drug test is in the off season when everybody is doing their phyical preparation (which is when the drugs are beneficial to recovery and conditioning). Any other time they dont need to dope
@jordansupafly Bolt (and i assume Blake, since they're in the same club) are both tested on a regular basis all year round. In fact, Bolt literally NEVER goes a single week without being tested, and is the most tested athlete of all time.
@deycoops Thats the general assumption yeh! Whether that actually happens or not i dont know and i very much doubt it. The most tested athlete of all time? Nah, thats impossible to know. Ive been tested and done accordingly, they have to be completely random . They might knock on your door at 2 a.m on a thursday night asking you for a sample of urine, so for them to come on a weekly basis is not only a waste of money and time but impractical.
@deycoops What i will say, is that testing throughout the year is delegated to the national doping agency of that country. So i can tell also from personal experiece , that the doping agencies are also used as a weapon against athletes . There was an athlete who was challenging another girl who was seen as the golden girl of athletics in the UK and their "camp" had used the doping agency to terrorise this poor girl by continual harrassment.
@deycoops And im not trying to use this to say that bolt and blake are cheats.........on the contrary, im trying to say the issue of doping stinks to high heaven and the agencies involved are corrupt as hell.
@deycoops My personal view is doping should be legalized: 2 reasons for this
1- Eliminates the mafia like organisation around doping and kills profiteering allowing true competition to emerge
2-Protects the athletes more by allowing doping cases to become a legal affair, obliging laboratories to be responsible as they will be liable for any unwanted health defects as with normal pharmaceuticals.
@deycoops An athlete who has doped under current conditions and is suffering from health problems because of this will be VERY reluctant to take it to court as it would bring to light they HAVE doped, and therefore would be sued for fraud and face heavy financial penalties. No athlete is willing to that under current conditions. My belief is that legalizing would solve this and other problems too.
Jamaicans (i'm Jamaican) are fast because life is still very rough there. The kids have a very active life, it's very hot, they walk everywhere and play in that heat, add to that; The food is Natural and everyone loves to "race".It's a very potent island, look at dreadlocks and Reggae music.... all from that tiny Island. IMO Jamaicans prolly won't do PED drugs because it would shame the Island if it was found out. we are PROUD to be Jamaicans....."The Baddest Men On Earth" :)))
@ Icecoldhard...you really think Blake can go 44 for the 400? The 400 requires great power and stamina I think Bolt has a better mix of the two...but Johnson was a beast in his day and his record is gonna be one difficult one to beat.
@jordansupafly ur right my bro. What a lot a pple don't understand is that a lot can happen out there...bolt held down the 100 for a while and blake, who no one (unless ur a big fan of the sport) really knew about a few months a go, nipped it from him when he false-started. So one mistake and the guy who is ready is gonna take it. Gonna be hot. I hope none of the big boys injure themselves b4. Blake, Dixon, Bolt, Gay, Alonzo (possibly Powell)
blake second 200m of the season came second in may now first with the second fastest time in history!!!!! think about it now people,try to put ur mind across it,200m is not even his specialty and to do that devastating time don't let ur stupid mind tell u that he cant beat bolt.
@MMking10 you actually bring in Dix in that argument, DIX? REALLY? its goin to be BOLT VS GAY VS BLAKE top three for sure if all is fit and able. Still think bolt will beat them all bolt is the best bend runner ever together with his top speed untouchable.
@MMking10 hello if we are going to assume that Bolt or Blake is on drugs , then is it safe to assume that Jeter is on drugs too? Common people these athletes work very hard, let us give them some credit.
I'm proud as a Jamaican that with the present records ot wud seem like we've monopolized the sprints (Men). However, I honestly hope we get some real competition soon. Give ratings to Gay and that young panamanian guy Alonzo Edwards.
@JCANPetros yeh! alonzo looks good. I wouldnt put my money on tyson though. I dont think he will be able to keep up the same rythm, training, competing and giving everything. I think he was pushing the outer limits to try and keep up with Bolt. In Walter Dix i think we may see a guy who can step up a level, maybe not to beat blake and bolt out the bat, but to defenitely cause trouble if they slack. I can see that type of determination in him
@jordansupafly hey bro how comes u didn't tell the panel that ur a track star yourself...checked out your vid. jordansupafly let me give you a lil advice - don't try change a jamaican when it come to us and our athletics mind set. We're very proud of what we produce and we boost it and flaunt it. Call it what u will...but if u try change it ur only creating trouble. Lol cheers!
@zesandell Bolt told him to run a more controlled turn and push the straight, you see the result, after the race Bolt told him, " The mentoring is over" :)
well all i gotta say is if u have been watching him from he was a teenager at St. Jago high school you'd realise that he has always been like that...so my friend i recommend u look up some of his videos on youtube from back then b4 u make those kind of accusations....note im not discrediting ur claims but to quickly jump to assupmtions of this proportions is jus ridiculous
wow i can't wait to the olympics. I believe that Bolt will win eventuelly, but Blake will push him to an amazing world record... and don't forget the Powell and Gay will also run in the 100 and 200 meters, that will be awsome!
Now guys you need to stop @Jordonsupafly u should be a shame of urself. Stop preach hate amongst your brothers. The slaver 'mentality' is rooted in division amongst ourselves. So stop preach hate. Know thyself! Your a Blackman if u see where u brother lack or needs good leadership seek to help not taunt. Look up Malcom X house slave vs plantation slave. I say no more...
@JCANPetros Its not hate i want to preach but to anger them to the point where they start to think for themselves, even if they end up hating me in the process. So people stop following and start leading themselves, that the whole problem. We wait for someone to lead us instead of leading ourselves, and we can only be free as black people when we accept (and i say accept purposely) we are no different than white people or chinese people or french people ar whatever they may be
@ yardieindubai I get your point but I think powell has in the past and still lacks the confidence needed...when he goes against the 'big boys' he shuts-down. In Sprints confidence can make u or break u...let's just hope they don't get injured.
@ jordansupafly ur causing a lot of controversy here...u said "our ancestry" explain that what's ur background :-) come out with the truth of yourself. Then it will be more apparent how unbiased your comments are.
@JCANPetros i explained before that i am of carribean descent! My mother was born in st johns in antigua which is a small carribean island where i still have family and like all (most) carribean people im close to my mother and my gandmother
I explained this a few posts ago (not in as much detail) but whether any1 wanted to see that is another issue
Seriously guys let's not judge. I know these times are unbelievable fast but we all have our own unique abilities These guys work hard to perfect theirs all of them out there! I can't run 100 in 11 seconds flat so to me it wud seem like they're all taking drugs. But they train their bodies for it. We have amazing bodies and drugs or no drugs if we push ourselves we can do amazing things.
@JCANPetros well said. It has to be said that blake and bolt are brilliant talents (and i will keep repeating that) and its hard to know what the true limits are. You know where i stand with the drugs issue, im very skeptical about it but that doesnt take away my admiration for their ability. That remains. If it was up to me i would legalize doping for quite a few good reasons, so please dont think i condemn these people because i am skeptical
@aaydrian Yeh! so go away and jive about something else. You arent a true athletics fan and i doubt that many people in here truly are. You just strike me as the type of guy whod loose interest all of a sudden if there were no jamaicans at the fronts. Tribal Partisan follower
i think this is good for bolt...he had to push hard by himself to set the world record as there are no real challengers running alongside him...with blake running this fast...bolt can run even faster n lower his WR as he has blake pushing him behind
Only if Dix loses an extra 10lbs, lol......I believe he has the potential, but he tends to be impatient.But I hope these athletes will practice a controlled season and not try to prove anything prior to their National Championship and London...2011 was a lesson for the likes of Spencer and Powell...
@jordansupafly My friend u are ignoring,whether deliberately or blindly simple truths. As a Human beings, Jamaican, American, black/ white we all have our favorite.u won't hear a Yankee cheering on the Red Sox when playing against them. Now in the game of Track, more so for the Sprints, the fan will always have his guy...and as a human with desires and emotions you'll want your guy to win. You'll express that That's why we have a comment box lol come on brother- that's what we do!!!
@JCANPetros The simple truth is that what you have just explained isnt a fan of the sport, thats a partisan supporter of a group he identifies with. He doesnt appreciate the actual discipline as much as he does his own tribal afiliation.
These people tend to be blinded by this afiliation and will end up justifiying any type action that supports his side instead seeing himself as human being and standing up for universal values. And there is also an enemy to hate............AMERICA hhhmmmmm
I'm sick and tired of racist comments...we all love the sport. Why focus on our differences as humans and just enjoy what we have in common. We are all men...the Caribbean and blacks on of the Caribbean and Americas as been through hell. If anyone should be preaching hate message it should be us. I hope this can be appreciate by those who love truth.
@JCANPetros There is nothing racist about my comment, apart from the fact that im carribean too, im just saying what is going on and this shouldnt be confined only to the carribean nations but i want to specific with this.
The majority of people in the carribean countries or the peasants (as other people have decribed you) are sheep who follow the herd and for the shepherd who is wise and knows how to lead this herd has very easy prey......in other words
@ jodansupafly...now that's very racist. You have a lot of hate and you sound ignorant. I'm sorry for you because that time in history is dead and gone. You are a slave to ur own misconception and your eyes is not open to the reality.
I knew that comment wouldnt be popular but i stand by it. Its quite hard for me to be racist on that given its part of my ancestry too but dont think you shackles to be slave
People the young man just got natural talent, I went to high school with him and he has been out performing guys his age fro then. Usain coach a rigorous training program and these guys work really hard. Culture, our food and determination separates as a people and is demonstrated in our sport. Anything is possible, but let's not judge. Just enjoy the sport.
Im going to post this here so you all understand. How do you think athletes get drugs? Go to wal mart and buy them over the counter?
You need a whole laboratory to synthesise these chemicals and refine them (usually a cocktail of drugs that work in combination) which are then sold (at a high price) to GROUPS of athletes. Its a business folks, and when you see someone get caught it is usually the doing of a lab getting rid of a rival athlete. The athletes are pawns in this game
@jordansupafly are you a supplier?do you work in the lab?you seem to know a lot about the business,did you sell some to Blake huh Mr Conte?tell us more...who else you think on drugs?call some name.is Jetter one of them?people are saying that her voice changed and she as acne and she's old and running like she's 23,give us the inside scoop,we should put you in charge of doping you seem to be an expert.
@JQX1 lol, ur so right - i'm wondering the same with Jeter who is an olg hag running like a spring chicken but where's the concrete proof? not available (yet?) and until then we can't say anything about any athlete.
@JQX1 i wouldnt be surprised if jeter was on drugs. Look guys! IM NOT AMERICAN so these attacks on the U.S arent going to offend me if that is what they are for............
If you dont like what im saying then fine, you dont have to believe me and you shouldnt. You should use your own critical thinking and not follow these sensational spurs.
Does Yohan Blake cheat......i dont know. Am i skeptical.......absolutely. Has he been caught before..... you get the idea?
@jordansupafly i mentioned Americans once because they were the perfect example for whatever case we were talking about. Now Jeter is a slightly different case as we were commenting on sprinters who have drastically improved and is under suspicion and remember suspicion is not proof.
@aaydrian What a load of bollocks! Its a deep seated rivalry thats been ingrained into you by some means (i would guess the television) and every other jamaican on this thread has just happened to coincidentally mention Americans and Jeter............................by chance is it?
Nobody happens to use sandra perkovic as an example or christophe lemaitre or kirani james or manuel olmedo ar anyone else
all the jamaican athletes are tested, look at the random testing that found mullings positive of doping. the jamaican anti doping federation take their job serious, jamaican are proud people and something like doping is frowned upon. american anthletes have a long history of doping so trying to cast blame on excellent performances by others is easy for american.. please stop the hiprocicy
@ARTaken007 Im sorry to butt in here but i have to say this, and you are correct in saying blame cant be cast for truly excellent performances (and blake and bolt are exceptional talents) but doping requires the collusion of the doping agencies to protect the interests of the laboratories who provide these substances and do business and that includes national sporting bodies. If someone gets caught, it is usually because they are screwing up business for the next guy. BALCO was an example
That's such nonsense. You're a blinded nationalist. There are more than 20 doping cases in Jamaica in the last 8 years. Stop lying to yourself. Cheating occurs everywhere. It ALSO occurs in Jamaica. Get over your sense of nationalism.
Why is that as soon he ran such a fast time the first thing people assume is that he is on drugs? Why isn't that people cannot look at his talent instead of being suspicious of him doping.
What is with your unhealthy obsession with doping...Why don't you let the officials do their job..In the mean time, let the patrons and fanatics enjoy the sport...
BTW..Yes..Sprinting is mixed with national pride and it is that which gives Jamaica it's recognition as a "Sprinting Nation"..
@yardieindubai Hi yardien, the way i will respond to that is by saying the officials arent there to do the job you think they are supposed to do, i wouldnt put my faith in these people EVER.
But i still love, enjoy and practice the sport and i think that jamaica has 3-4 special talents at the moment who are doing spectacular things.
But i want to say that my mother is from the carribean island of antigua who shares the same heritage as all the british colonies in the carribean but.............
Jamaica, antigua, st kitts and nevis and all the carribean arent "sprinting nations". They are all Slave Nation's with a PEASANT mentality of followers and people who like to jump on the bandwagon and until that changes they are all gonna stay being slave nation's and being completely dominated. They do the same thing with other sports in europe. Get you to love your football team more than your own freedom.
@jordansupafly Slave nations? well I suppose that's why every country u just called is an independent Nation. Peasant mentality? I suppose that's why we run or selves, top the world tourist detention charts, and we are so proud of OUR own music, dance style etc...to the point where other countries and people die to know more about us. Jumping on the bandwagon, these countries like any other country capitalise on what there people are good at. Not sprinting nations? Hmhp that's laughable.
@DismalyetHopeful Independant nations! You are having a laugh right? what do you think the commonwealth is? A charity fund? The territories are still pertinent to the crown. In fact the whole idea of the commonwealth was though up by a semi secret society called the milner group who wanted a sort of world federation. They later changed their name to the royal institute of international affairs and wrote delightful articles on how to guide society through music, media, science, politics.....
this is freaking unbelievable. Yohan blake is going to be the main competition of Usain Bolt. I still cannot believe he ran the second fastest time of all time. The crazy thing is that he is young and he will run quicker times. He will set the standards for younger sprinters of Jamaica.
@aaydrian when someone writes a word that in doesnt resemble english in any way, shape or form i do get a little confused (unless its spanish) but back to the point, this is my sport and there is nothing that irritates me more than to see people fooled by utter crap and corruption that is so deep in my sport.
I also get the feeling here (correct me if im wrong) that sprinting is mixed with national pride in jamaica (which i never see as a good thing)
@jordansupafly completely ignoring ur attempt at intelligence in the 1st paragraph as 4 the 2nd i can't speak 4 others as that will only lead to me eating my own words but u have a high % chance at being right with that point. I try not to get 2 caught up in it because it could make me blind to legitimate reason - prime example of this americans who think they r superior in EVERYTHING.
@aaydrian I didnt expect you to be able to understantd PROPER english so im not surprised you had problems understanding it.
Most of the comments im seeing seem to be proving this to me and also from what i hear is that sprinting is pretty much a national institution in jamaica and has a lot of public support. But i will say this-Do you really think that anyone gives a crap about a country when they are on the start line, Bolt races not jamaica, Gay races not the U.S
@jordansupafly smh, trust me if no one gave a crap which country these guys represented then some of the hateful things that r being said wouldn't have infact be said at all. If Bolt didn't run for Jamaica then he would have ended with a championship from the Diamond League because this meets' title is all about the cash or better yet years ago wen AMERICANS (not just a simple group of men) tried to entice him over with scholarships would have left if he didn't have greater plans 4 his country.
You guys are obsessed with this america v jamaica crap! Just what the hell do you guys get from usain winning the world championship?(or tyson for that matter) A fortune cookie? A pat on the back? You dont get get nothin. And it makes no qualitative difference to your life yet by some of the comments ive seen here you would think you guys were at war. Bolt, Gay, Blake are all tremendous athletes but dont hate each other because you want THEM to beat each other
@jordansupafly racist fucker go jump off a bridge if you feeling belittle and a nobody. Jamaica rules the sprints. Nobody is talking about war we not firing rockets after each other. Go jump off a bridge with your sorry ass self. Talking about slaves and shackles are your way of trying to make your pathetic ass feel like some body. That shit might work with some weak descendants no we. Two words for you, Jamaican Maroons. We put people in them place. We run things, things don't run we.
@Diafgadgsut Ive pissed you off! That means deep down this strikes true to you. we run things? Dont be stupid. People who push pencils and make laws run your life and you are more hopelessly enslaved than our ancesters ever were. At least their minds were their own. I get the feeling all you are is a cheap imitation of something you have seen on television and want to be like. jamaica doesnt rule the sprints. Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake rule the sprints
im sorry but improvin his sb from 20.33 and his pb from 19.78 to 19.26 thers summit fishy goin out, i hope he doesnt fail a drugs test but one can only wonder!!
Seen this 10 times....Still find it stunning!

You got the "nearly said Bolt" part right, but the commentator never said that Yohan Blake was the second fastest American. He was referring to Walter Dix when he said, "....and that 19.53 is the 4th fastest of all time. Now, of course, he is the 2nd fastest American ever." Listen to it again carefully and you will notice this. However, among Americans, i think Tyson Gay may have ran the second fastest time in the 200m. I need to verify that though.

Ladies and gentlemen, when a person defies the laws of physics, it's natural to ask. I asked the same about Usain Bolt when he broke the world records. Yet Tyson Gay ran the second fastest time ever running down the greatest starter in this century, Asafa Powell with a hernia. Jams, give us room to ask questions for it human to do so. Welcome YB and god bless you son.
himnagentele04 4 months ago 2
We rarely dont get to have 2 jamaicans run the 2 fastest 200m in history. Now imagine if Yohane Blake ran the first curve without consulting UB. He certainly would have broken the 200m record. I am cool with speed and I want speed that is deserving. Everyone saw UB's "how" when the kid didn't even run the first 100m. Imagine Yohane with UB and Tyson Gay. Pls in a world that;s real, we should stop running away from asking questions. That aside, YB will be the first person to run sub 19 undruged.

Check out Yohan Blake's expression when he saw 19.26 on the timer @ 4:16 then check out how he had to glance a second time @ 4:25 to make sure he saw 19.26 Lol...Priceless!

Yohan Blake come to fame when he ran down Tyson Gay in the 200m (19.78) for second place in 2010. At that time he noted that his top end speed was superior to Tyson's and if he could work on his start he'd be a threat this year 2011. That performance signal his maturity from a timid teenager on the pro level to a bold and fierce competitor as he ran a PB out of lane 8 and almost clip Tyson on the line. Tyson and Asafa are worried scared of this kid and they'll be dodging him alot in 2012!

@kingofsprints I came to the same conclusion after watching that race back then. I was like: this guy is faster than Gay.. And he ran a crazy time from lane 8. I thought if he had a better lane draw it's game over. It's the same for the 100m too. I remember Gay ran 9.78 or something and Blake was running him down in the end.

Yohan Blake put his all into that race where as when Usain Bolt hit a 19.19 he was not a 100% in terms of fatigue and was slowing down near the end. I think Yohan Blake has hit his optimum speed where Bolt still has much more to bring to athletics and will break the 100m and 200m records again however you still have to give credit to Yohan Blake

@rgejsv How can you say Yohan hit his ultimate speed when he had the worst start to begin with, and ran the worst bend of any winner in recent memory by running a 10.3 first 100m and ran the fastest second 100m ever 8.96(unofficial). Imagine if he had ran the race Usain had in 2009? I'm not saying he's faster than Usain but, 19.19 would've been a thing of the past. So based on this race it is very clear he could've gone faster. Imagine if he improve in the 200m, by 2012 that'll be a showdown.
kingofsprints 4 months ago
@rgejsv Disagree, Yohan Blake not reach his best in speed to the line, he's growing, plus he ran a slow curve. Watch out for him at 2012, he'll run his best then. The beast is ready to show the world what he can run, and i have faith in him. But not sure he'll beat Usain Bolt, as for Tyson Gay don't rule him out, but Walter Dix will have to play catch-up. Even though the race is for anyone on the day. Love all the athletes, they bring joy and laughter to my living room.

People begin asking how fast could he go, I would answer World record- Blake's reaction time was quite poor (0.269), a good 200m sprinter should react below 0.15s. From that point, he would easily run 19.16s, World record by 0.03s.

The idea of Bolt peaking in 2008/2009 may shock some, but should not be dismissed. Bolt is clearly an elite athlete that needs strong challenges to bring out his best. Having said that, Tyson is just the right kind of Guy to keep Bolt sharp. If he is fit, then Bolt will be forced to step up. Next year's Olympics should be a real athletics and sprinting wonderland. Can u imagine all those guys fit and sharp?! mouth watering to watch

I never thought I'd say this but even if Usain Bolt is at his best, that is EVEN IF he is in the EXACT same shape and running as well as did in 08 in Beijing, even THAT might not be good enough to beat Blake. Scary thing is Blake is 21 and will only improve. We might even see a sub 19 seconds 200 metres !! To me, the thing about Blake is that HE LOOKS fast, like REAL fast. Let's hope Bolt and Blake stay fit and on top of there game and have a winner takes all race in London 2012.

I'd love to see Usain Bolt try and run the 200m with this strategy, taking it really relaxed for the first 100 and then just tearing shit up during the last 100. With this in attitude towards the distance, I believe Usain could run under 19.10.

No disrespect towards any jamaican, I think they produce great athletes that are clean like melaine walker and usain bolt but when an athlete runs their fourth 200 metres of 2011 and their seasons best time is 20.33 and they get a slow reaction time out of the blocks but manage to cross the line in 19.26 seems a bit spooky. 20.33 to 19.26 means that yohan blake interms of distance improved his seasons best time by 12 to 13 metres which is an astonishing chunk to find in just half a lap!

To all you people saying bolt takes drugs or its suspiscious bolt was the most drug tested athlete in the beijing olympics drug tested 6 times i think instead of concentrating on drugs give props where they are due to blake and bolt, also look in to the science of why jamaicans run so fast.
Bigmattyboi86 5 months ago
@Bigmattyboi86 im not trying to be purposely belligerent here but with regard to drug testing, being drug tested at a competition doesnt really clarify anything because they dont need drugs at that time. The time to drug test is in the off season when everybody is doing their phyical preparation (which is when the drugs are beneficial to recovery and conditioning). Any other time they dont need to dope
Just wanted to clarify that. All the best

@jordansupafly Bolt (and i assume Blake, since they're in the same club) are both tested on a regular basis all year round. In fact, Bolt literally NEVER goes a single week without being tested, and is the most tested athlete of all time.

@deycoops Thats the general assumption yeh! Whether that actually happens or not i dont know and i very much doubt it. The most tested athlete of all time? Nah, thats impossible to know. Ive been tested and done accordingly, they have to be completely random . They might knock on your door at 2 a.m on a thursday night asking you for a sample of urine, so for them to come on a weekly basis is not only a waste of money and time but impractical.
jordansupafly 5 months ago
@deycoops What i will say, is that testing throughout the year is delegated to the national doping agency of that country. So i can tell also from personal experiece , that the doping agencies are also used as a weapon against athletes . There was an athlete who was challenging another girl who was seen as the golden girl of athletics in the UK and their "camp" had used the doping agency to terrorise this poor girl by continual harrassment.
It is possible some of these agencies are corrupt

jordansupafly 5 months ago
@deycoops My personal view is doping should be legalized: 2 reasons for this
1- Eliminates the mafia like organisation around doping and kills profiteering allowing true competition to emerge
2-Protects the athletes more by allowing doping cases to become a legal affair, obliging laboratories to be responsible as they will be liable for any unwanted health defects as with normal pharmaceuticals.
jordansupafly 5 months ago
@deycoops An athlete who has doped under current conditions and is suffering from health problems because of this will be VERY reluctant to take it to court as it would bring to light they HAVE doped, and therefore would be sued for fraud and face heavy financial penalties. No athlete is willing to that under current conditions. My belief is that legalizing would solve this and other problems too.
All the best (sorry for the treatise)

The majority of people in the carribean countries or the peasants (as other people have decribed you) are sheep who follow the herd and for the shepherd who is wise and knows how to lead this herd has very easy prey......in other words

@ jodansupafly...now that's very racist. You have a lot of hate and you sound ignorant. I'm sorry for you because that time in history is dead and gone. You are a slave to ur own misconception and your eyes is not open to the reality.

I knew that comment wouldnt be popular but i stand by it. Its quite hard for me to be racist on that given its part of my ancestry too but dont think you shackles to be slave

People the young man just got natural talent, I went to high school with him and he has been out performing guys his age fro then. Usain coach a rigorous training program and these guys work really hard. Culture, our food and determination separates as a people and is demonstrated in our sport. Anything is possible, but let's not judge. Just enjoy the sport.

@JCANPetros Thats true! Usain was an animal for his age! At 15 he won the world juniors. It wasnt even his age group for christ sake

Im going to post this here so you all understand. How do you think athletes get drugs? Go to wal mart and buy them over the counter?
You need a whole laboratory to synthesise these chemicals and refine them (usually a cocktail of drugs that work in combination) which are then sold (at a high price) to GROUPS of athletes. Its a business folks, and when you see someone get caught it is usually the doing of a lab getting rid of a rival athlete. The athletes are pawns in this game

@jordansupafly are you a supplier?do you work in the lab?you seem to know a lot about the business,did you sell some to Blake huh Mr Conte?tell us more...who else you think on drugs?call some name.is Jetter one of them?people are saying that her voice changed and she as acne and she's old and running like she's 23,give us the inside scoop,we should put you in charge of doping you seem to be an expert.

@JQX1 lol, ur so right - i'm wondering the same with Jeter who is an olg hag running like a spring chicken but where's the concrete proof? not available (yet?) and until then we can't say anything about any athlete.
aaydrian 5 months ago
@JQX1 i wouldnt be surprised if jeter was on drugs. Look guys! IM NOT AMERICAN so these attacks on the U.S arent going to offend me if that is what they are for............
If you dont like what im saying then fine, you dont have to believe me and you shouldnt. You should use your own critical thinking and not follow these sensational spurs.
Does Yohan Blake cheat......i dont know. Am i skeptical.......absolutely. Has he been caught before..... you get the idea?

aaydrian 5 months ago
@aaydrian well why when we talk about doping you have to talk about americans or jeter? are you sure its me who is deflecting?
jordansupafly 5 months ago
@jordansupafly i mentioned Americans once because they were the perfect example for whatever case we were talking about. Now Jeter is a slightly different case as we were commenting on sprinters who have drastically improved and is under suspicion and remember suspicion is not proof.
aaydrian 5 months ago
@aaydrian What a load of bollocks! Its a deep seated rivalry thats been ingrained into you by some means (i would guess the television) and every other jamaican on this thread has just happened to coincidentally mention Americans and Jeter............................by chance is it?
Nobody happens to use sandra perkovic as an example or christophe lemaitre or kirani james or manuel olmedo ar anyone else

all the jamaican athletes are tested, look at the random testing that found mullings positive of doping. the jamaican anti doping federation take their job serious, jamaican are proud people and something like doping is frowned upon. american anthletes have a long history of doping so trying to cast blame on excellent performances by others is easy for american.. please stop the hiprocicy
ARTaken007 5 months ago
@ARTaken007 Im sorry to butt in here but i have to say this, and you are correct in saying blame cant be cast for truly excellent performances (and blake and bolt are exceptional talents) but doping requires the collusion of the doping agencies to protect the interests of the laboratories who provide these substances and do business and that includes national sporting bodies. If someone gets caught, it is usually because they are screwing up business for the next guy. BALCO was an example

@ARTaken007
That's such nonsense. You're a blinded nationalist. There are more than 20 doping cases in Jamaica in the last 8 years. Stop lying to yourself. Cheating occurs everywhere. It ALSO occurs in Jamaica. Get over your sense of nationalism.

Why is that as soon he ran such a fast time the first thing people assume is that he is on drugs? Why isn't that people cannot look at his talent instead of being suspicious of him doping.

@jordansupafly
What is with your unhealthy obsession with doping...Why don't you let the officials do their job..In the mean time, let the patrons and fanatics enjoy the sport...
BTW..Yes..Sprinting is mixed with national pride and it is that which gives Jamaica it's recognition as a "Sprinting Nation"..
yardieindubai 5 months ago
@yardieindubai Hi yardien, the way i will respond to that is by saying the officials arent there to do the job you think they are supposed to do, i wouldnt put my faith in these people EVER.
But i still love, enjoy and practice the sport and i think that jamaica has 3-4 special talents at the moment who are doing spectacular things.
But i want to say that my mother is from the carribean island of antigua who shares the same heritage as all the british colonies in the carribean but.............
jordansupafly 5 months ago
Jamaica, antigua, st kitts and nevis and all the carribean arent "sprinting nations". They are all Slave Nation's with a PEASANT mentality of followers and people who like to jump on the bandwagon and until that changes they are all gonna stay being slave nation's and being completely dominated. They do the same thing with other sports in europe. Get you to love your football team more than your own freedom.

aaydrian 5 months ago
@jordansupafly Slave nations? well I suppose that's why every country u just called is an independent Nation. Peasant mentality? I suppose that's why we run or selves, top the world tourist detention charts, and we are so proud of OUR own music, dance style etc...to the point where other countries and people die to know more about us. Jumping on the bandwagon, these countries like any other country capitalise on what there people are good at. Not sprinting nations? Hmhp that's laughable.
DismalyetHopeful 5 months ago
@DismalyetHopeful Independant nations! You are having a laugh right? what do you think the commonwealth is? A charity fund? The territories are still pertinent to the crown. In fact the whole idea of the commonwealth was though up by a semi secret society called the milner group who wanted a sort of world federation. They later changed their name to the royal institute of international affairs and wrote delightful articles on how to guide society through music, media, science, politics.....

this is freaking unbelievable. Yohan blake is going to be the main competition of Usain Bolt. I still cannot believe he ran the second fastest time of all time. The crazy thing is that he is young and he will run quicker times. He will set the standards for younger sprinters of Jamaica.

@aaydrian when someone writes a word that in doesnt resemble english in any way, shape or form i do get a little confused (unless its spanish) but back to the point, this is my sport and there is nothing that irritates me more than to see people fooled by utter crap and corruption that is so deep in my sport.
I also get the feeling here (correct me if im wrong) that sprinting is mixed with national pride in jamaica (which i never see as a good thing)
jordansupafly 5 months ago
@jordansupafly completely ignoring ur attempt at intelligence in the 1st paragraph as 4 the 2nd i can't speak 4 others as that will only lead to me eating my own words but u have a high % chance at being right with that point. I try not to get 2 caught up in it because it could make me blind to legitimate reason - prime example of this americans who think they r superior in EVERYTHING.
aaydrian 5 months ago
@aaydrian I didnt expect you to be able to understantd PROPER english so im not surprised you had problems understanding it.
Most of the comments im seeing seem to be proving this to me and also from what i hear is that sprinting is pretty much a national institution in jamaica and has a lot of public support. But i will say this-Do you really think that anyone gives a crap about a country when they are on the start line, Bolt races not jamaica, Gay races not the U.S
jordansupafly 5 months ago
@jordansupafly smh, trust me if no one gave a crap which country these guys represented then some of the hateful things that r being said wouldn't have infact be said at all. If Bolt didn't run for Jamaica then he would have ended with a championship from the Diamond League because this meets' title is all about the cash or better yet years ago wen AMERICANS (not just a simple group of men) tried to entice him over with scholarships would have left if he didn't have greater plans 4 his country.
aaydrian 5 months ago
You guys are obsessed with this america v jamaica crap! Just what the hell do you guys get from usain winning the world championship?(or tyson for that matter) A fortune cookie? A pat on the back? You dont get get nothin. And it makes no qualitative difference to your life yet by some of the comments ive seen here you would think you guys were at war. Bolt, Gay, Blake are all tremendous athletes but dont hate each other because you want THEM to beat each other
jordansupafly 5 months ago
@jordansupafly racist fucker go jump off a bridge if you feeling belittle and a nobody. Jamaica rules the sprints. Nobody is talking about war we not firing rockets after each other. Go jump off a bridge with your sorry ass self. Talking about slaves and shackles are your way of trying to make your pathetic ass feel like some body. That shit might work with some weak descendants no we. Two words for you, Jamaican Maroons. We put people in them place. We run things, things don't run we.

@Diafgadgsut Ive pissed you off! That means deep down this strikes true to you. we run things? Dont be stupid. People who push pencils and make laws run your life and you are more hopelessly enslaved than our ancesters ever were. At least their minds were their own. I get the feeling all you are is a cheap imitation of something you have seen on television and want to be like. jamaica doesnt rule the sprints. Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake rule the sprints
