Blake ending his season
KINGSTON (JAM): After Glasgow cramp Yohan Blake will most likely miss the rest of the season. Writes Jamaica Gleaner. He will not feature again for the rest of the year after suffering a slight tear, while competing at the Hampden Park on Friday. Initial checks suggested that the sprinter had merely suffered a cramp, but according to sources close to the situation, the ‘slight tear’ was discovered after a MRI was done earlier on Sunday. The injury itself is expected to keep him out of action for a mere two weeks, however, it is understood that Blake’s management has decided to once again call an end to the sprinter’s season with next year’s World Championships and the 2016 Olympic Games in mind.

(Editor’s note: No one wants to see an athlete get injured during an event. Luckily for Yohan Blake, it seems that the injury is slight, but it will mean his season is, for all real purposes, over. The Worlds are in 2015 an Olympics in 2016. Yohan Blake now has to focus on the big picture.)
