Jamaica's Yohan Blake reaches the semi-finals of the men's 100m courtesy of a victory in heat six.

Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake has moved into the semi-finals of the men's 100m by winning heat six at the Olympic Games.

Blake, who is a training partner of compatriot Usain Bolt, found his rhythm with 30m of the race gone, which allowed him to hit the front.

Running in lane five, he was able to ease up in the closing stages on his way to setting a time of 10 seconds flat.

Japan's Ryota Yamagata set a personal best of 10.07s in the runners-up spot, while China's Su Bingtian finished third.
