KINGSTON: Sprinters Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake will open the 2012 season today at the Camperdown Classic in Kingston. Both sprinters are expected to race in the timed final of the 400-metres, but might not go head-to-head in the same heat. “I aim to successfully defend my Olympic titles and this is just the beginning of competition,” said Bolt. The three-time Olympic gold-medallist’s fastest at the Camperdown Classic is 45.54 seconds. Meanwhile, Blake has a personal best at 400m of 46.80 seconds in Kingston.
