Usain Bolt has spoken glowingly of the big task accomplished by Yohan Blake when Team Jamaica broke the 4x100m relay world record at the 2012 London Olympics.
Legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt broke numerous records during his storied running career but he appreciates that some of them were down to the quality of his team-mates.
The 100m and 200m world record holder disputes the fact that the 4x100m relay world record set by Team Jamaica at the 2012 London Olympics was down to him, crediting team-mate Yohan Blake instead.
At the final event of the London Olympics, Team Jamaica brought the roof down with what is now termed the greatest men’s sprint relay in history when their team that had Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Blake and Bolt smashed the world record, setting a new mark of 36.84 seconds, after edging out Team USA.

The Americans had started well when Trell Kimmons passed the baton to Justin Gatlin, who got the better of Jamaica’s Frater, and passed it Tyson Gay and on the third leg, the American was decimated by Blake, who passed it to Bolt, to bring it home as Ryan Bailey anchored Team USA to sliver.

'I could have retired at 25 or 21'- Yohan Blake on the tempting offers that nearly forced him to ditch Jamaica
The Jamaican sprinter revealed that loyalty to Jamaica and financial responsibilities have kept him competing, despite opportunities to retire much earlier.
While speaking to the Ready Set Go podcast co-hosted by Gatlin and former Bahamas sprinter Rodney Green, Bolt was asked how he felt being the man who holds the fastest third leg in 4x100m history but he surprisingly disputed that fact, stating that it should be Blake instead, after what he did to Tyson Gay in London.
“Better than Blake? No, that year he turned that jet on Tyson. I saw him catching him down and I was like damn,” Bolt said.
“I thought he [Blake] was going to keep him [Gay] close and then bring it to me to run fast. That is what I thought was going to happen but when I saw Blake I was like sh*t.
“I did not expect him to eat up all that ground because I knew there was no way Frater was going to beat Justin, we all know that, but can Blake keep it close. That is what I was saying, can Blake keep it close enough or even get back a little bit to make it competitive because if I get five metres, I am like I can catch him.
“But if it is more than five metres, it is going to be tough. But when I was watching and I saw him eating up the ground, I was like we definitely winning this.”
Gatlin weighed in on how he knew all the great work he had put in was not going to amount to a gold medal once Blake put on the afterburners.
“As soon as I saw them hit the turn, I was like damn, Blake. Because as soon as I passed the baton, I was like we good, we can get this,” said Gatlin.

Benson Omala: The contract nightmare keeping him away from Gor Mahia
Benson Omala is still in the dark where he will be playing next after recent release by Al Safa SC and Gor Mahia have clarified why they won't engage him for now.
Bolt agrees that the Americans looked to have sealed the gold but Jamaica’s third leg turned the race on its head, all thanks to Blake’s decision to run a very first race, before handing over the baton to him.
“Yeah, because when you had the baton, you were looking good,” added Bolt, agreeing with Gatlin’s assessment. “Because you were pulling away from Frater little by little and I was like this is crazy. But when I saw Blake, I was like damn, I was happy though.”
Team Jamaica became the first side to break the 37-second barrier in the relay and their record is still intact to date while the women’s 4x100m relay world record is 40.82 seconds, also set in London by the United States.
