The SHOCKING Track & Field Record We All Forgot About...

[@zakgunning1]

Blake is probably the most underappreciated athlete of all-time. He's unlucky to be born at the same time as bolt, he'd be the biggest track star ever and probably have 10x the wealth as he'd have all of bolts brand deals etc. As well. It feels like his feats are being forgotten already because of Bolt and its not fair, kinda feel for the guy

The reason injuries derailed Yohan Blake's career is because like Tyson Gay, he overtrained, always pushing it to the limit in practice like a "Beast"and hardly giving his body sufficient rest. And in a sport where you're putting a tremendous amount of stress on your body when running at high speeds. Like Gay, Blake let the urge and need to beat Usain Bolt Bolt cloud his judgment on how to take care of his body to be the very best. If Yohan had allowed his body to simply get more rest, it would've resulted in less injures and he probably would've surpassed Bolt. Cuz he was a "Beast" as his nickname suggests back in his prime years 2011-2012.

Injuries messed him up cut his career short.. BEAST 🇯🇲

[@brandonm8901]

Miss those days when mid 9.7s seems pretty standard for a Diamond League event. Just a few years later you could win a World Championships with a 9.9 :(

[@pamelaonduso9480]

Awesome.

If usian bolt came to success at a different time, yohan Blake would've had such a bigger following, and a much greater appreciation for his records.

[@shawnlewis1356]

Blake was a beast... one bad injury...stinks.. were all one bad injury away from greatness... he was awesome

[@kezz-iofficial4058]

The world should know it is injury that has plagued and hinder Yohan Blake from going on to be greater

[@sweet2878]

he is the greatest

[@darianhenrygamerz]

A lot of Jamaican easily forget about Yohan Blakes achievements its the sad truth... This man was a class over shadow by Usain Bolt... If it was in a different era not involve Usain.. YOHAN wouldn't have been so underated... Its similar situation with Elaine Thompson Herah.. Injuries can be a bitch... But lets give praise where it is due.. Well done Yohan Blake... U left a great footprint in the history of the sports!

He may have lost a little fluid weight that week or something. Dehydration has been proven not to effect short-term peak performance. Yohan is a beast.

*The Beast!*

[@eldridgejoseph7385]

Absolutely

[@montemasterson9588]

It's kind of like Sham running as a three year old the same season as Secretariat. Sham was a GREAT horse, but could only run 2nd against the fastest horse of all time.

Blake ❤️

[@jwgolfing8412]

9.69 sheeesshh🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 if he had a +2.0 tailwind and completely RECOVERS from the FLU he could get like 9.57-9.59 probably and break the world record in the 100m and 200m my prediction could be wrong but it’s my prediction. Remember I said if he recovers from the flu completely and +2.0 wind then just maybe a world is possible

[@DreDaGodSon]

Yahh man‼️……🇯🇲😎

[@dableuyoshiemu7020]

Give more attention to the women's 100m sprint guys,a world record is well on track to be made and if somebody like Elaine was on the men's track now,getting times like 9.63 and beating Bolt's Olympic record for example,there'll be a lot more talk about it.

THE REAL GOAT IS COACH MILLS !!! FULL RESPECT TO THAT MAN!!! FOR COACHING THE 2 FASTEST MEN OF ALL TIME!!!!
