Blake owns the second fastest times ever run over both the 100m and 200m, surpassed only by recently retired sprint king and compatriot Usain Bolt. But following a career-threatening hamstring injury in 2012, the 28-year-old, has struggled to get back to his world-beating best. But now he feels the Commonwealth games offers the avenue for a good comeback.
“I’m looking forward to that night in the final in Australia,” Blake was recently quoted by Digicel Sports Max as saying. “I don’t have a Commonwealth medal. It’s very important for me to have one in my trophy case.’’
