Addressing a news conference in Kingston on Thursday the Jamaican, 22, signalled his intention to replace his 26-year-old team mate Usain Bolt as the fastest man on the planet. “I am feeling confident more than ever and I think next year it’s going to be really hard for anybody coming up against me because I will be stronger, I will be much fitter and I will be much faster. Each year I grow day by day,” said Blake, nicknamed the beast for his work ethic.
“Mentally I am good. I have a wonderful coach in Glen Mills. I am not pressured. Looking forward to next year. What I am supposed to fix I will fix it because I am starting really well now.”u00a0
