My friends, if you don’t believe in yourself no one will. And if you have put in all the work, why settle for anything less. I wish Blake all the best, age is just a number and I see the fire burning!
@@osuk1Gatlin ran 9.74 at 34 years old and that may be fast enough to win gold in Paris, neither Colmen or Lyles has run that fast. Blake is 34 and has run faster then all three of them so it's possible that it can be done.
@@phoebusIt's not what Gatlin has accomplished at his age. It's what Blake is actually capable of running and so far he has proven that he can't run in the lower 9.8s or 9.7s at 34 years old.
@@phoebusGatlin was banned for 4years which in some way prolonged his career and he peaked almost immediately after his return but the likes of Bolt,Gay, Blake and now Gatlin are over the hill now. Yes, he's still competitive but the writing is on the wall.All of his peers are now retired.
@@ksmooth8787 If you looked at the all time senior men outdoor ranking, you would see both Blake & Gay at #2, which shows both men share a joint spot #2 with 9.69. Blake isn't typically the third because there's no third in the ranking since both men have the same time. Now, even if they had to choose one to separate them, Blake's 9.69 would have to be ranked higher since he clocked it with a wind speed of -0.1 while Gay clocked his with a tail wind of +2.0. Gay had a lot more wind assistance in running his 9.69 than Blake did, so I would rate Blake's time more impressive if there was ever a need to separate them.
The traps on Yohan always surprised me as a sprinter. I'll be curious to see what he can achieve at his age. Blake running the 3rd leg of the 4x100m is sure a memorable moment.
I hope God's plan for him is an amazing one...and I wish him the best, whether he wins or not he's tough as nails and is resilient despite his injuries, if it weren't for the freak of nature bolt he would have been a multiple olympic gold medalist/world champion. Best of luck ✌
I would rather say if it wasn't for that serious hamstring injury he suffered - he was never the same athlete again .That prevented him from being a potential Olympic gold medallist - not Bolt. In his prime he was a beast and has beaten Bolt in the Jaimacan trails already. Between him and Bolt, they would have shared the spoils when it comes to Olympic and World Athletics Championship Gold medals. That serious injury he suffered put paid to that.
@@godfreysampson6432 bolt wasn't beatable in the 100 tbh until the very end of his career. Blake was damn close in the 200. Him beating bolt in the trials didn;t matter if Bolt beat him at the olympics the same year
@@kjford587 Agree 100% - Bolt was not beatable until the 2017 World Athletics Championships at age 30 . The point I am making is that if Blake did not suffer the career damaging injury in 2014 at the age of 24 - the athletics achievements between the 2 of them may have been different. These are my reasons: Bolt ran his fastest times at the age 22 breaking his own world records in 100m and 200m in Berlin 2009. He went on to win 2012 & 2016 Olympics and 2013 & 2015 World Championships. At the 2012 Olympics Bolt (25) was better than Blake 22. At the 2016 Olympics Bolt was 29 Blake 26 ( but he Blake was not the same athlete) Blake suffered his serious injury at the age of 24 in 2014. There is a strong possibility that between ages 24-28 he would have definitely mproved and run faster ( like most male sprinters do) if he did not suffer the injury.He was on an upward trajectory while Bolt was stagnant in terms of improving on his times ( yes he won all major championships but he did not improve on his times since 2009 ). Yes the same could have applied to Blake - we will never know. Though I believe if it wasnt for his injury , he had , talent , age and hunger on his side to improve and beat Bolt in an Olympics or World Championship. This is my opinion- we can only speculate what could have been.
Bro he is earning by running he hasnt lost his mind bht you as a hater for sure....last year in juoy he ran 9.85 and was again close to 9.70 but got an injury again which totally ruined his performance again....instear of hating atleast appreciate his efforts....he is doing all this for his stomach and respect which he has not gotten yet @@respectbigman3133
Blake's living in fantasy land, his time at the top is long gone, no athlete in history in any sport has come back from many years of decline to be as good as they were in the past
Age has definitely caught up with him. It's a reality we all have to face. So, to the young generation, just do the right thing at the right time and do it like it's your last time.
@@billymotatso1469Yohan is still not capable of running in the high 9.7s or low 9.8s which is more likely the time that it's going to take to win gold in Paris.
@@markcullen2870What was his time? If it wasn't in the high 9.7s or low 9.8s then he shouldn't even be mentioned as being a potential winner in Paris.
Chris very great take…….u wld have to go to KC to understand …….and I will tell u, each KC person have it all compartmentalized, and the support both ways is a microcosm of dealing with life…….n true brother/sisterhood ……KC is a facet of Jamaica that is very inspiring like it or not 😊
Its so true that a lot of the best sprinters are only good because they doing athletics was their only way to survive. Their families don't have enough money to pay for college so these young kids go into track
Swears! I can never forget his pace in that 4×100m relay final. At the beginning the Americans were leading, but the moment he took the baton he was ever blazing
Yohan I believe will need to be in at least 9.8 shape come June for Jamaica trials, then I believe he will need to be in 9.7 shape to have a chance. Now doesn’t mean to say the Olympic 100m will be won in something super quick, it could be won in 9.9x but I think his body will need at least 9.8 to 9.7 to medal contend encase it’s a fast race which it probably will be.
Rooting for our champion for sure, it seems he had some injuries and lost some of his gifted touch, but with confidence and hard work our champion can still take it home 🏆
He doesn't want anyone to be looking at him cus he doesn't want the pressure. That's what I have a problem with. He's already goated, he just needs to be at peace and ready to perform optimally. Whatever that looks like at his age.
He seems a bit slimmer and that is good thing, he seems confident, so at least he has no major injuries and in shape to push his limits. Wanna see Yohan make a great comeback!
Good Job Yohan. Also well done in realising that your training was wrong. Too many weights will make you bulky and cause great muscular imbalances and eventually injur but if you focus on speed and explosiveness with the right kind of strength training you can see amazing miracles🎉
Keep Grinding. Trust in your ability. Line up in let your talent shine. There's a ton of talent in the 100 meter and 200 meter. 2024 Paris Olympics..... Cream always rises to the Top
