| Nicknamed 'The Beast' by Jamaican track fans, Yohan has made vast improvement since his record-breaking days at St. Jago High School. He sports a distinguished 9.69-second personal best over the 100m and in 2011 he captured the World Championships Gold Medal in the 100m as well as moving into second postition on the World all time list for the 200m.
Yohan holds the national junior record for the 100 metres, and is the youngest sprinter to have broken the 10-second barrier (at 19 years, 196 days). He is coached by Glen Mills, and is training partners with Bolt and Daniel Bailey. |
