Yohan Blake Blasted for Ruining Jamaica’s Dream as Track and Field Fans Fume After Major Blunder

Dark clouds are definitely hanging over Jamaica right now—and not the rain kind. First, they weren’t the fastest in the mixed 4x100m relay (Canada stole that spotlight), and then came the women’s 4x100m heats on May 9 at the World Relays. Jamaica rolled out a heavy-duty lineup in Heat 2 and still ended up finishing second. Not ideal, but hey, it wasn’t the end of the world… until the men’s 4x100m heat hit the track.

Let’s talk about Heat 2. Jamaica had Rohan Watson, Julian Forte, Yohan Blake, and Kishane Thompson ready to roll. On paper? Firepower. On the track? A disaster. They didn’t just underperform—they got disqualified. Yep, you read that right. DQ’d. South Africa ended up advancing, but it could’ve easily been Jamaica if not for… whatever went wrong in that exchange. Yohan Blake’s crew had one job, and now everyone’s left scratching their heads. So now the question is: what exactly went wrong with Blake’s team?

Well, that’s a heartbreaker — Jamaica’s men are out of the 4x100m after a botched second exchange and a dropped baton.
