On August 20, Beijing time, the NACAC Championship men's 100 meters final kicked off, and the winner was Achim Blake, who was known as "Little Blake". In this race, Akeem Blake ran a time of 9.98 seconds, while the other runners were all 10 seconds away. Akeem Blake's strength is already close to 9.95 seconds, and coupled with the fact that he is a sprinter, many people are optimistic about him.
During the race, Akeem Blake showed great starting prowess, pulling a certain distance from the other runners at the beginning of the race. At the back of the race, Akeem Blake did not budge, and finally won the first place, allowing people to see Jamaica's sprint strength, which should not be underestimated.
Achim Blake once ran 9.92 seconds in the men's 100m of the IAAF Intercontinental Tour - Music City Athletics Carnival, a personal best, becoming the second Jamaican athlete to open a 10; In June 2022, Akeem Blake competed in the men's 100m final of the Jamaica Athletics Championships and finished third in 9.93 seconds; In August 2022, in the men's 100m race of the 2022 IAAF Diamond League in Chorzów, Achiem Blake finished third with a time of 10 seconds. The Jamaican player, known as "Little Blakes", still has a very strong strength.
In recent years, Jamaica's sprinting prowess is still recognized in the world, but its real strength has gradually weakened. In Bolt's time, Bolt was known as the "lightning bolt" and "the god of sprinting". He has broken the world record many times, running within 9.70 seconds several times, and is a well-deserved "flying man". During his career in the service, the sprint project won the prize and won the soft hand, making people "talk about the color change", Jamaica's strength reached its peak during that time, and the brilliant light of the "sprint kingdom" was dazzling. After Bolt, there is also John Blake, who ran over 9.85 seconds, and his great strength should not be underestimated. In addition to the male players, Jamaica also has many female flyers, and even some are still active on the field, such as Thompson, Fraser and so on.
Although this generation of Jamaican sprinters still has great strength, it is still eclipsed by Bolt's time, and it is difficult for anyone to keep up with Bolt, a legend in the history of world sprinting. However, Jamaica's sprinting strength is still not to be underestimated, even if the level is not as good as that year, Jamaica still has the ability to stand out from the crowd. I hope that more outstanding athletes can appear on the sprint field in the future, so that the sprint event can meet the glory again.
