Blake pulls a stunner, beats Bolt in 100
By | Associated Press – 13 mins ago
KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — The Fastest Man in the World wasn’t the fastest man in Jamaica on Friday night.
That honor goes to Yohan Blake, who got out of the blocks fast and finished the 100-meter final in 9.75 seconds to upset world-record holder Usain Bolt by 0.11 seconds in the Jamaican Olympic trials.
Blake is the reigning world champion but Bolt didn’t run that night after getting disqualified because of a false start.
This was their first rematch and Blake showed he more than deserved his title.
Asafa Powell will join them at the Olympics, where the calculus has suddenly changed dramatically.
In the women’s 100, defending Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce won in a Jamaican record 10.70 seconds, with Veronica Campbell-Brown second and Kerron Stewart third.
