Yohan Blake named International Event Ambassador for Mumbai Marathon

MUMBAI: Yohan Blake, the youngest 100m world champion ever, has been named as the International Event Ambassador for the 18th edition of the Tata Mumbai Marathon to be held on January 15 next year, the race promoter Procam International announced on Wednesday. Ranked among the top 10 marathons in the world, the iconic Tata Mumbai Marathon is a USD 405,000 prize fund World Athletics Gold Label Road Race.

According to organisers, the race embodies the city's unique spirit — encouragement for all and that unshakeable belief in oneself — #HarDilMumbai.

Jamaica's Blake is the second fastest man of all time and famously finished behind countryman and training partner Usain Bolt in the 100m and 200m before teaming up with the sprint legend for the 4x100m relay gold in a world record at the 2012 London Olympics. IANS
