Yohan Blake ran the joint-third fastest time in 100m history as fellow
Jamaican Usain Bolt eased to 200m victory in the Diamond League meeting
in Lausanne.
Blake, who won silver in both the 100m and 200m at
London 2012, ran 9.69 seconds, beating American Tyson Gay into second
place.
Only Bolt, the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay champion in London, has ever run faster over the shorter distance.
"I have been sick all week, thank God I recovered," Blake told BBC3.
"I have more races and I'm going to get better and better."
Compatriots Bolt and Blake have decided not to compete against each other for the remainder of the season, meaning the Swiss crowd were unable to see a repeat of their showdowns at London 2012.
