ATHLETICS NEWS - Jamaica's Yohan Blake had the words of Usain Bolt ringing in his ears as he dominated the sprints on day one of the Commonwealth Games athletics on Sunday.
Despite world athletics chief Sebastian Coe slamming the "obsession" with Bolt, Blake said he was inspired by the now-retired Jamaican showman as he qualified fastest for the 100 metres final.
"Usain told me, 'Yohan, you've got to win or else you can't go back home," said Blake, adding that Bolt also posted a touching message on Instagram saying: "I believe in you."
