Commendable achievements of Yohan Blake

Yohan Blake is a two-time Olympic gold medalist. He grabbed gold in the 4x100m relay at the 2012 London Olympic Games and his team also clocked a world record of 36.84.

In 2016 Rio de Janeiro, Blake again clinched gold in the 4x100m relay by clocking a time of 37.27. Along with the Olympics, the Jamaican sprinter is also a two-time world champion. He nabbed gold in both the 100m and 4x100m relay events at the 2011 Daegu World Championship.

At 21 years of age, Yohan Blake became the youngest 100m World Champion ever, surpassing Carl Lewis, who set the record at the 1991 World Championships at the age of 22. However, the 2021 Summer Olympics did not go as expected for the sprinter. He did not qualify for the 100m final.

The track and field world is waiting for a wonderful comeback from Yohan Blake. All eyes are on him to witness his incredible sprinting magic on the field.
