Bolt's Comments on Blake Echoes
)
Bolt, who once formed part of Jamaica’s golden era in sprint relays alongside Blake and Asafa Powell, has long been the symbol of the island nation’s dominance in global athletics.
His teams were known not just for blistering speed but for near-flawless baton exchanges, a formula that delivered multiple Olympic and World Championship titles in both the 4x100m and 4x200m.
However, on Saturday, that legacy was tarnished as the seasoned Blake, once hailed by Bolt himself as a key component in their past successes, was unable to rescue the team from a relay catastrophe.
South Africa, led by Akani Simbine, capitalized on the error and surged to victory in the heat.
