Blake steals Bolt thunder with stunning 100m victory

Usain Bolt was upstaged by training partner Yohan Blake at the Athletissima Diamond League meeting in Lausanne last night.

The young pretender became the joint second-fastest man in history as he won the 100 metres in 9.69 seconds shortly before Bolt clocked 19.58secs over 200m.

Only Bolt, a self-proclaimed ‘living legend’ after retaining his Olympic titles in London, has run quicker than Blake’s new personal best.
