World Champion Yohan Blake showed how serious he is about winning gold at the London Olympics with a superb 9.85s victory in the third semifinal. He was able to beat the resilient Tyson Gay of the USA who ran 9.90s for second and Adam Gemii of Great Britain who came in third in 10.06s.

The Finals of the 100m for men promises to be a classic and should be a head tot head between Blake and Bolt.
