Jamaica’s Yohan Blake became the second fastest man over 100m on Friday (EST), clocking 9.69sec at the Lausanne Diamond League meeting.

World champion Blake, who was silver medallist behind Usain Bolt at the London Olympics, finished ahead of America’s Tyson Gay in 9.83sec with Nesta Carter of Jamaica in 9.95sec.

Bolt, the world record holder, wasn’t running in the race, opting to line up in the 200 later in the evening.

Blake, 22, improved his previous personal best of 9.75sec to move into second place on the all-time list which he now shares with Gay who has also run 9.69sec.

Only Bolt - with 9.58sec and 9.63sec - has run faster.

“I am delighted,” said Blake.

“I have been sick all week with flu but I am glad I recovered.”

America’s Carmelita Jeter edged the women’s 100m, thrillingly turning the tables on Olympic champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica.

Fraser-Pryce had defeated Jeter in the final at the Games earlier this month, but she took victory on Thursday, dipping just at the right time at the line with both runners clocking 10.86sec.

“I always want to win and when you do it feels pretty good,” said Jeter.

"It was just like the Olympic final, I had to fight to the finish because Shelly-Ann has had such a great season. She’s a great starter and fantastic competitor.

“She always brings her A-game so you have to bring yours.”

Wow…so all of a sudden Tyson Gay’s 9.69 in Shanghai in 2009 don’t matter!? lol…Gay and Blake are join 2nd fastest. School boy error on Fox Sports part. Tyson Gay’s efforts seem a thing of the past. smh.

3

Maybe because Blake had a neg wind…i guess

I doubt Fox even considered the wind. In the end, both Gay and Blake ran wind legal 9.69s.
