Jamaica's world 100m champion Yohan Blake says he expects superstar compatriot Usain Bolt to be on a revenge mission at next year's Olympics in London where the pair are set to clash for the sprint gold. The 21-year-old Blake profited from Olympic champion Bolt's false start to claim gold at the World Athletics Championships at the end of last month in a time of 9.92secs. Bolt then roared back with gold in the 200m and, along with Blake, was part of the Jamaican team which set a new world record in the 4x100m relay of 37.04secs. But having taken Bolt's title as world champion, Blake says he expects a battle royal with his training partner in the 100m Olympic final on August 5 next year. "It's going to be a big year, Bolt will be coming for revenge, that's going to be a very interesting one," said Blake. "I am not thinking about beating Usain Bolt right now, I just want to finish the season healthy and next year anything can happen." Blake clocked a personal best of 9.82secs on Sunday for the second time in three days to break the old record held by both Asafa Powell and sprint legend Maurice Greene at Berlin's Olympic Stadium for the ISTAF world challenge meet. After running an identical time at Zurich's Diamond League meeting on Thursday, Blake underlined his form by dominating the field ahead of second placed 2001 world champion Kim Collins, who ran a season's best 10.01sec. Despite being one of the slowest out of the blocks, Blake accelerated past early leader Collins, who took bronze in Daegu, and put plenty of daylight between himself and the rest of the field at the finish. His personal best of 9.82secs came on the same track where Bolt set the world 100m record of 9.58secs at the 2009 World Championships.
