looks like there was no bly to be gotten?
The reigning world 100m champion Yohan Blake of Jamaica will more likely pass his title to some other sprinter as Blake is about to miss the world outdoor meeting in Moscow. The runner has withdrawn from this week’s Jamaican national championship due to a right thigh injury.
By pulling out from the domestic tournament, Blake automatically losses the right to compete for Jamaica at the world championship in Russia. As in order to be selected for the worlds he must be a podium finisher at the national trials.
Blake would still be eligible to run 100m distance in Moscow as the defending champion in this event, but it’s quite clear he will skip 200metres and 4x 100 relay. Moreover it’s still unclear whether 52 days that are left before the start of the world meeting would be enough for Blake to recovery from his injury. It’s quite possible the Jamaican sprinter will not show up in Moscow at all.

Asafa Powell Wins In Ostravt

Jamaican speedster Asafa Powell returned to the track for the first - well, second - time since his shock seventh-place finish at the Jamaican nationals with a 10.06 seconds win in the 100 metres at the Golden Spike IAAF World Challenge meet in Ostrava yesterday.
Powell actually sprinted across the line in 9.97 in an earlier start some 30 minutes prior, only to realise that the race had been called back because the Cayman Islands' Kemar Hyman had false-started.
The Jamaican returned with the rest of the pack later on to win ahead of veteran Kim Collins, 10.08, and Mike Rodgers, 10.16.
However, Powell, who ran 10.22 at last week's trials to finish outside of the automatic spots for selection on Jamaica's team to the August 10-18IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Moscow, was left disappointed with his outing.
"I was a little disappointed the first run did not make out. I'm happy to win but not satisfied with the time," Powell said after the race.
Sprint hurdler Andrea Bliss has experienced a resurgence under the guidance of hurdling guru Fitz Coleman. She posted a personal best12.82 for second place at the recent Jamaica trials, dipping below 13 seconds for the first time since 2009.
In Ostrava, Bliss stopped the clock at 13.03 to finish behind Olympic and world champion Sally Pearson, whose 12.67 was her best time so far this season. Home girl Lucie Skrobakova, 13.02, edged Bliss to the line for second place.
"The time is a good sign for the world championships in Moscow, but I definitely wanted to run faster," said Australian star Pearson after the race. "I haven't competed for 11 months, therefore, I'm satisfied with the result."
Bliss will now turn her attention to this Sunday's IAAF Diamond League stop in Birmingham.
National champion Ristananna Tracey was a fourth-place finisher in the 400m hurdles, her time of 55.98 keeping her behind the winner Zuzana Hejnova, 53.32; Denisa Rosolova, 55.12; and Lauren Boden, 55.55.
Young quarter-miler Peter Matthews finished down the track in seventh place with a time of 46.68 in the 400m. The event was won by Olympic and world champion Kirani James in 44.49 ahead of Wade Van Niekerk, 45.09, and Pavel Maslak, 45.22.

I hope he heals up in time. I am wondering if everyone is happy in that camp. Plenty of speed, plenty of competition. I think we might soon see Sprinters going for overseas clubs and flags again just to get exclusive training and make national squads.Originally posted by Wahalla View PostComment

Hope he does not come back too quickly...Originally posted by Tuff Gong View Post
But the issue u highlighted has started...delano williams has joined them; the ex Munro athlete. He will compete for the UK. He was clear he was asked to compete for Jamaica but chose the mother country. He is 19 and thinking of competing in Moscow. I think it is too early..
it will be interesting how he will be treated and viewed. I think there are too many top sprinters in that group..Kemar Bailey, Weir, bolt, Murphy, Blake, Carter??? now Delano...Glenn miller must have something but I think it is too much possuble points of friction!
However I know Dwain Chambers when he made his comeback trained with the other lot ie withAsafa under coach Francis . He was surprised how tough it was .. and he did get into shape...Comment
