Olympic Games sprint double silver medal winner Yohan Blake will run the men's 200m at UWI Invitational set for Usain Bolt track on Saturday (22 March).

It will be Blake's first and only 200m race in more than a year. His last international 200m goes back to September 2012 in Brussels. 

Blake competed after injury limited his 2013 season for first time early February at Camperdown Classic where he ran 47.20 in the 400m. 

Meanwhile, Olympic and World Championships medalist Warren Weir, is scheduled to run the 100m. He is a 200m specialist and between 2010 and 2013 competed only once at the 100m, last June where he did a personal best 10.02.
