Read : Usain Bolt - London 2012 Olympics newest record

Usain Bolt who is turning 26 next month is a Jamaican sprinter and a five-time World and three-time Olympic gold medalist. He is the reigning Olympic champion. He holds the world record and Olympic record in the 100 metres, the 200 metres and (along with his teammates) the 4×100 metres relay(wikipedia.com). But guess what? Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake raced twice over the weekend at the Jamaican Olympic Trials and Blake won both times(Yahoo news).

First, he defeated the world-record holder in the 100 by 0.11 seconds, a staggering margin that Bolt is usually on the other end of. Then, in a much bigger surprise, Blake did it again in the 200, hanging Bolt his first major-competition loss in the event in five years(Yahoo news).  Usain who has been giving professional tips to Blake is now in deep trouble.

What seems to be the problem of Usain?  The lightning bolt is nearing to an end. 

Sports fans highly criticized Usain Bolt of his lame execuses over the loss he had but let's take a deep look of the statistics between these two great sprinters.

Name: Usain Bolt Age: turning 26 next month International competition record: 13 gold, 5 silver, 1 bronze All time record: 27 gold, 7 silver, 1 bronze	Name: Yohan Blake Age: 22 All time record: 13 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze

The only factor that I can consider from above is age. Though Usain is exposed to many international competitions, when age strikes you really can't do anything. However, still these two great athletes will definitely be one of the greatest attractions of the Olympics this year. So good luck to both of them!
