World 2011 100m champion Yohan Blake has taken on former Jamaican 400m hurdler Gregory Little as his new coach.
Blake, who up to the 2018 season, spent his entire professional career under the guidance of Glen Mills, switched to Patrick Dawson to prepare for the 2019 season.
Blake’s manager Cubie Seegobin confirmed the lastest development.
He already started with training for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. He will not compete indoors as it is usual for Jamaican athletes.
Blake, who turns 30 on December 26, was 5th in the 100m final at Doha 2019 World Championships.
He has personal best times of 9.69 (100m) and 19.26 (200m). The former St. Jago sprinter won 100m and 200m silver at the London 2012 Olympic Games behind Usain Bolt. He also helped Jamaica to 4x100m Olympic Games titles in 2012 and Rio 2016.
Blake will only focus on the 100m in 2020.

All the best pastor Yohan am hoping to meet you in Tokyo 2020
All the best Yohan,just keep pushing,2020 here he comes
Blake should only focus on the 100m…..I think he is better equipped for the 100m
If u think u can do the times the other guys are doing then go for it if not go for the diamond league and make some cash because u can make some money there.Best of luck.
Really Hope this works out for him… Tokyo is an important comp for Blake. Hopefully he can recapture his 2010-2012. More strength ??
Keep the fire burning by faith my brother, it will happen.
Welldone Yohan, you haven’t finished yet, keep trying and leave the rest in jesus hands. Good luck.
We may not always get it…but it’s not our career. All the best. More strength and more vybz??
I think he would be better-off training with Mills! He has done well under Mills! Mills has the credentials of creating legends!
Wishing you all the best Yohan
Best wishes all the time cousin Yohan ‘Bless’ Blake! ??
