Yohan Blake surprised some last year when he won the 100 meters in the World Championships. A few weeks later, he blew many people away with his screamingly fast 19.23 for the 200 meters.
Yohan Blake is fast. First junior under 10 seconds. Yohan Blake has two strong wins at the Jamaican Olympic Trials, in the 100 meters and 200 meters over his training partner and friend, Usain Bolt.
London is upon us, and the battle for the 100 meters and 200 meters will be fascinating to watch and experience.
The Shoe Addicts salute Yohan Blake, the current World Champion and fastest man in the world, in 2012, over the 100 meters and 200 meters.
