Yohan Blake won today's 100 metre race at the Morton Games in Santry.

The second-fastest man in history won in a time of 10.12 seconds to lead home a Jamaican 1-2-3 and record a new stadium record and an Irish all-comers record.

Blake finished second to countryman Usain Bolt in the 100 metres at London 2012, and won gold at the 2011 World Championships in Daegu, South Korea.
