Things Are Not Looking Good For Yohan Blake

Might be time to hang it up, and he has nothing else to prove. One of the fastest men in history, 1 of 3 sprinters ever to go sub 9.70s in the 100m, and 1 of 2 sprinters ever to go sub 19.30s in the 200m. Bonafide legend

Blake can be proud of his career no matter how this year turns out.

9.85 after a massive hamstring injury is impossible for most people. It’s the scarring not just physically but mentally. He’s a professional and doing it for the money while he still can. “Big up” Blake!!

He is a true competitor; he doesn't know when enough is enough. I admire him for that, never giving up. But there is no denying that his best days are behind him. Now all he needs to do is find a way to monetize his skills.

That 9.85 from '22 is literally his only sub 9.90s in the last 12yrs! Went a little overboard in the weight room post his terrible injury, thought he'd try to lose some of that bulk over the last 2yrs but unfortunately didn't. Will be a shame if he's not able to at least make the JAM 4x1 Relay Pool.

Blake has been retired for some now. He keeps getting those cheques. I can't blame him. He has never been the same after those injuries. He has to know when it's the end for him. He was great in his time but sadly he couldn't get past Bolt. Wishing him the best of luck as he seems to be a great guy. As he gives back to the community and is willing to help. Respect

Credit to him for being a fighter . Lot of runners have had bad injuries then soon quit. Blake truly loves the sport and had fought his way back, over and over

He's also a member of the WR 4 x 100 meter relay team from 2012: Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake, and Usain Bolt - 36.84 s.

He has a storied career. I watched him grow and get better each race. I have nothing bur respect and adoration for him as a world class sprinter. Best wishes to him.

Nothing to be worried about or sad about. Father Time comes for us all.

Very sad, he is a super big idol of mine.

The guy is getting older. Give him a break and let him do what he loves. AS slow as it seems, it's still faster than the majority of sprinters outside of the main sprinting countries even considering he is 15 years their senior...

As much respect as I have for Blake and want to see him excel I can’t see it happening. I hate to say it but I’d be surprised if he made the Olympic team. He has some young, hungry lions in his camp putting in the work. I do hope he finds that extra push and guidance he needs to b back at the top of his game.

He looks like he's training for Mr. Olympia vs the Olympics.

Well he did say he was going to retire unfortunately. Everybody should know by know he’s lucky to even be walking hence y he’s working so hard to come back. That hamstring injury was literally off the bone he was almost crippled

Mid 30's it's hard to recover as quick! I get aches and pains doing nothing lol! He should start coaching instead. Well done Blake you're still a monster.

He got nothing left to prove, already a legend

We❤yohan blake ! Wether he comes back or not… 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

No matter what happens from here on out ,he'll definitely go down as a legend within this sport

A few sprinters stand out to me as truly exceptional. Su Bingtian. To run a 9.82 at his age (31), from his ethnic background, with his stocky frame. Simply unbelievable. Justin Gatlin. To have still been running world-leading sub 10 second sprints at 38-39 years old is just outstanding, only Kim Collins exceeds that kind of longevity. We don't even know what his peak years might have looked like given he was banned. The fact he even came back to world class sprinting after the bans is an impressive feat. Yohan Blake. Technically no man has covered 200 meters on a track faster than him, not even prime bolt. If Sprinting was formatted more logically, such as measuring the time from the moment you launch off your starting blocks, he'd be the world record holder in that event. Usain Bolt. I don't have to even explain.
