Didn't he start out as a 400m runner?

Used to do the lot when he was a kid, 100, 200 & 400.

Is Blake a recent revelation for Jamaica? Don't remember him in Bejing or before that.

Only 22, won the WC last year in the 100, seems to be getting better and better.

Blake is lucky Mike Tyson let him have his shoulders and arms.

Impressive tstl.

Current world champ, tbf.

Only like 12 tho, so was probably still a junior 4 years back.

ah fair enough. Amazing how Jamaica keep pumping out these insane sprinters.

Fmd Kim Collins out because he went to stay at his missus' hotel last night and left the village. Seems harsh.

I loved Chambers pre-ban. Was shattered when he tested positive.

Never know how to react to him these days.

They all sprint now instead of bowling at 90mph.

I just think of his extremely successful venture into Rugby League tbh.

 

[Jacknife]

Nice from Dwain, good run and eased down at the end.

 

[GIMH]

10.02 .

Can he make the final??

 

[BoyBrumby]

Looks literally half the bloke he was at his "peak".

Not sure how to feel when he does well, tbh.

For the sake of consistency, treat him as you do Gaitlin.

THIS in spades. Hate him.

Indeed. Ah what could have been Usain Bolt Gets Chris Gayle Out!! - YouTube

I'm more indifferent to 'reformed' cheats from other countries than Brits tbh
