Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake may race each other before London Olympics
Bolt, 25, won the sprint double at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and holds the world record for both the 100 and 200 meters but the younger Blake has quickly emerged as his biggest threat.
Blake won the 100 at this year’s world championships in South Korea when Bolt was disqualified for a false start.
Bolt made amends by winning the 200 in the absence of Blake, who went on to set the second fastest time in history for the 200 at a meet in Belgium.
Blake’s agent Cubie Seegobin told Reuters the 21-year-old would be happy to race Bolt over either distance in the lead-up to the Olympics.
“It doesn’t matter, if we’re in the 200 and whoever lines up in the 200 and we are comfortable with our negotiations and conditions, whoever lines up lines up, it doesn’t matter to us,” Seegobin said.
“And the same thing in the 100, whoever lines up 100, that’s as long as we comfortable with out conditions, it doesn’t matter to us.”
