Jamaica's Ackeem Blake, today, copped the bronze medal in the men's 60 metres at the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Glasgow, Scotland.
Blake had a competent start but was outdone by winner Christian Coleman of the United States of America, whose rocket-like beginning provided a huge advantage for his rivals.
Blake maintained the second position until the final few metres of the race when he was passed by another American, Noah Lyles, who captured the silver medal.
Coleman clocked a world lead of 6.41 seconds, with Lyles doing 6.44 and Blake 6.46.
