Got to hand it to Usain Bolt, the guy is a competitor and is looking to further cement his place in Olympic History as not just one of the greatest runners but just one of the greatest athletes period.

Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt remain "friends" despite Olympic Rivalry

I think it’s great that Usain Bolt has good competition in his fellow countryman Yohan Blake. Bolt has been in the spotlight since the 2008 Olympic games (even before that but I haven’t been keeping track) and every great athlete needs to have a challenge to push him to the next level. Yohan Blake could be that challenge.

Usain Bolt gets beat by Yohan Blake again in Jamaican Olympic trials

Two things to take away from the past two meets between Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake:

1. Yohan Blake is making some noise and may be a legitimate contender for the Olympic Gold in London.

2. Don’t count out Usain Bolt yet. He was very close in winning the last meet and some runners just lose interest in events that are before the Olympics. Usain has been known show little or no interest in meets that aren’t on the worldwide stage. It’s possible that he just wanted to make sure that he got on the team and then focus on the real task at hand which is to defend his gold.

Either way with the impressive showing of Yohan Blake and Usain Bolt, it’s possible that the rest of the world will be running for 3rd place.
