Sports

By BBC | Jul 17, 2012

Yohan Blake insists his friendship with fellow Jamaican, training partner and sprint rival Usain Bolt will survive whatever happens at London 2012.

Closing the gap - season bests for Bolt & Blake at 100 & 200

Blake confirmed he will be the main threat to Bolt's 100m and 200m crowns when he beat the Olympic champion over both distances at the Jamaican trials.

"Win, lose or draw we are friends, even though it is business and he wants to win and I want to win," said Blake.

The men's 100m and 200m finals are on 5 and 9 August respectively.

Blake's performances in Kingston at the end of June delivered world-leading times in both events and established his credentials as a potential successor rather than just leading bridesmaid to Bolt in London.
