Yohan Blake was on born 26 December 1989 in St James, Jamaica. He is a Jamaican sprinter of the 100-metre and 200-metre sprint races. He won a gold medal at the 100 m at the 2011 world championships as the youngest 100 m world champion ever, and a silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the 100 m and 200 m races for the Jamaican team. He is known by the nickname “The Beast.” Blake’s 100 m personal best of 9.69 seconds makes him the equal second fastest man ever with Tyson Gay, and after Usain Bolt. His personal best for the 200 m (19.26 seconds) is the second fastest ever after Bolt. He holds the national junior record for the 100 metres, and was formerly the youngest sprinter to have broken the 10-second barrier (at 19 years, 196 days). In 2009, along with three other sprinters he was suspended for three months after testing positive for a substance similar to a banned stimulant. He is coached by Glen Mills. His training partners are Usain Bolt and Daniel Bailey. In 2013 Yohan Blake travelled to Moscow to defend his world 100m title while on the commercial circuit he will seek to grow his reputation for producing stunning performances and enhance his reputation as one of world sport’s most accomplished stars. The 23-year-old Jamaican’s meteoric rise has seen his name continually in the headlines. At the Olympic Games in London in August, Yohan Blake claimed gold as a key member of the Jamaica relay squad which, for the second straight time at a global showpiece, broke the world record. He also won silver medals in both the 100m and 200m. Having set himself the highest possible standards – and beaten his great rival and training partner Usain Bolt at both sprints at the Jamaican Olympic trials in June – the 22-year-old was probably slightly disappointed not to have crowned his first Olympics with an individual gold medal. Yohan Blake ended the 2012 season as the second fastest man ever at both the 100m and 200m having clocked three of the fastest 11 runs ever over 100m and three of the nine quickest over 200m. In 2011 was the year Yohan Blake won the world title; 2012 was when he entered the pantheon of athletics greats. Feted wherever he went in the aftermath of his performances in 2012, Blake’s profile as an athlete who has transcended his sport was best illustrated shortly after the Olympics had closed by his invitation to the opening morning of the cricket Test between England and South Africa at the home of the game, Lord’s in London, to ring the bell to signal the start of play. The 100m final in London was the fastest ever Olympic sprint race with the winner clocking 9.63sec; Yohan Blake second in 9.75sec; and another adidas athlete Tyson Gay finishing fourth in 9.80sec. It was Gay’s performance that perfectly illustrated the quality of the race as his time, 9.80sec, would have been good enough to win every Olympic final up to Beijing four years earlier.Yohan Blake`s progress throughout the season demonstrated just why he is now regarded as one of the world’s top handful of stars. At the 100m, his winning time of 9.69sec in Lausanne placed him alongside Gay as the joint second fastest ever. In all, Blake ran four of the world’s six fastest 100m times in 2012 while over 200m he clocked three of the six quickest. It all started on a breezy Sunday evening in South Korea and will most likely be remembered as the sporting shock of that year. Yohan Blake is a member of the adidas Next Generation project, revels on the big stage. But like many of the world’s elite performers he had come face-to-face with bitter disappointment. His came four years ago when he went to the IAAF World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz as the outstanding favourite to win gold at the 100 metres. Two years earlier in Beijing, when he was just 16, he had finished third. But in the Polish town, after a smooth passage through the qualifying rounds, he was slow out of the blocks in the final and missed out on the medals altogether. Within 12 months, though, Blake was sprinting half-a-second faster and leaving not only the bad memories of Bydgoszcz behind him but his rivals too. In Rome in July 2009, he scorched to 9.96sec. Blake was just 19 years and 197 days. No one younger had ever broken 10 seconds. Then one week later in Paris he went faster still – this time to 9.93sec. Much of the credit for Yohan Blake`s development can be given to coach Mills whose Jamaica-based Racers’ Club is one of two adidas-funded programmes – the other being in Florida. The Racers’ Club offers an environment in which tomorrow’s stars can live, eat and train alongside the Olympic and world champions of today. Yohan Blake is the IAAF world 100m champion, Olympic Games silver medallist at both the 100m and 200m, Olympic gold medallist, world champion and world record holder at the 4x100m.He is the second fastest man ever at both the 100m and 200m. At 19 years and 197 days he was the youngest man to have ever broken the 10-second barrier for 100m. His lifetime bests – 100m: 9.69sec (2012); 200m: 19.26sec (’11). On August 28th 2011 he won world 100m title in Daegu, clocking 9.92sec into a 1.4m/sec wind and September 4 he ran the third leg for Jamaica as they take gold and break the world record for the 4x100m in Daegu. On September 8th 2011 he scorched to 100m victory at the prestigious Zurich meeting on a windless night in 9.82sec. In September 11th 2011 he repeated his Zurich performance in Berlin with another win in 9.82sec. While in September 16 th2011 stunned Brussels with the second fastest ever 200m, 19.26sec. He was the 2012 Jamaica National Senior Champion 100m and 200m.

Yohan Blake, Columbus Short and Bruce Bowen are unrelated celebrity twins. They enjoy smiling and are famous people who look alike.
