The former world champion is raring to go again after enduring a lot of difficulties in recent years that have locked him out of major championships.
Former world champion Yohan Blake is promising a strong comeback after enduring a frustrating 2024 season.
Blake has not raced since July when he finished eighth at the London Diamond League, an outcome that saw him claim a lack of respect from Jamaicans.
That was after missing a ticket to the Paris 2024 Olympics when he could not go past the preliminary round of the 100m at the Jamaican trials and there has been uncertainty over his athletics future, especially after he opened a restaurant in Florida, early this month.

'I have worked 20-odd years tirelessly'- Yohan Blake emotional as he is honoured with Keys to the Region
The two-time world champion expressed gratitude after being honoured and celebrating the opening of his new restaurant, Butcher's Barrel, in Florida.
However, the 34-year-old seems not ready to hang his spikes just yet and remains determined to revive his career heading into the 2025 season.
“The journey continues. Focused, determined, and back where I belong. Stay tuned for what’s next. With God, all things are possible,” Blake posted on social media.
Blake, who has two Olympics silver medals in 100m and 200m and as many gold in 4x100m relay, has been struggling to get back to his former glories.
The sprinter was regarded as one of the big prospects when he burst onto the scene but after an early promise, his powers have been waning in recent years, casting doubts on whether he will return to winning ways.
His main task now is to be fit and qualify for next year’s World Championships in Tokyo, Japan
