Yohan Blake (23 years) will be conspicuously absent from the world championships in Moscow (August 10 to 18). The Jamaican sprinter, Olympic silver medalist in the 100m and 200m should not be sufficiently recovered from his injury before the world games, said a source close to the athlete to L’Equipe.

Injured in mid-April in the right thigh, Blake had to abandon the national team. This excluded him from the 200m at the world athletics track. But the Jamaican could still compete in the 100m which he won the gold in 2011 in the world of Daegu (South Korea). Already on Sunday, the Jamaica Observer published in the columns that “Yohan should quickly get operated.” And that “there is no chance for him to accompany the Jamaican team.”

However, the Jamaican federation has not yet formalized the package. The season seems to be over for” the Beast’‘ who was announced to the meeting in Lausanne.
