Yohan Blake was on born 26 December 1989 in St James, Jamaica. He is a Jamaican sprinter of the 100-metre and 200-metre sprint races. He won a gold medal at the 100 m at the 2011 world championships as the youngest 100 m world champion ever, and a silver medal in the 2012 Olympic Games in London in the 100 m and 200 m races for the Jamaican team. He is known by the nickname “The Beast.” Blake’s 100 m personal best of 9.69 seconds makes him the equal second fastest man ever with Tyson Gay, and after Usain Bolt. His personal best for the 200 m (19.26 seconds) is the second fastest ever after Bolt. He holds the national junior record for the 100 metres, and was formerly the youngest sprinter to have broken the 10-second barrier (at 19 years, 196 days). In 2009, along with three other sprinters he was suspended for three months after testing positive for a substance similar to a banned stimulant. He is coached by Glen Mills. His training partners are Usain Bolt and Daniel Bailey. In 2013 Yohan Blake travelled to Moscow to defend his world 100m title while on the commercial circuit he will seek to grow his reputation for producing stunning performances and enhance his reputation as one of world sport’s most accomplished stars. The 23-year-old Jamaican’s meteoric rise has seen his name continually in the headlines. At the Olympic Games in London in August, Yohan Blake claimed gold as a key member of the Jamaica relay squad which, for the second straight time at a global showpiece, broke the world record. He also won silver medals in both the 100m and 200m. Having set himself the highest possible standards – and beaten his great rival and training partner Usain Bolt at both sprints at the Jamaican Olympic trials in June – the 22-year-old was probably slightly disappointed not to have crowned his first Olympics with an individual gold medal. Yohan Blake ended the 2012 season as the second fastest man ever at both the 100m and 200m having clocked three of the fastest 11 runs ever over 100m and three of the nine quickest over 200m. In 2011 was the year Yohan Blake won the world title; 2012 was when he entered the pantheon of athletics greats. Feted wherever he went in the aftermath of his performances in 2012, Blake’s profile as an athlete who has transcended his sport was best illustrated shortly after the Olympics had closed by his invitation to the opening morning of the cricket Test between England and South Africa at the home of the game, Lord’s in London, to ring the bell to signal the start of play. The 100m final in London was the fastest ever Olympic sprint race with the winner clocking 9.63sec; Yohan Blake second in 9.75sec; and another adidas athlete Tyson Gay finishing fourth in 9.80sec. It was Gay’s performance that perfectly illustrated the quality of the race as his time, 9.80sec, would have been good enough to win every Olympic final up to Beijing four years earlier.Yohan Blake`s progress throughout the season demonstrated just why he is now regarded as one of the world’s top handful of stars. At the 100m, his winning time of 9.69sec in Lausanne placed him alongside Gay as the joint second fastest ever. In all, Blake ran four of the world’s six fastest 100m times in 2012 while over 200m he clocked three of the six quickest. It all started on a breezy Sunday evening in South Korea and will most likely be remembered as the sporting shock of that year. Yohan Blake is a member of the adidas Next Generation project, revels on the big stage. But like many of the world’s elite performers he had come face-to-face with bitter disappointment. His came four years ago when he went to the IAAF World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz as the outstanding favourite to win gold at the 100 metres. Two years earlier in Beijing, when he was just 16, he had finished third. But in the Polish town, after a smooth passage through the qualifying rounds, he was slow out of the blocks in the final and missed out on the medals altogether. Within 12 months, though, Blake was sprinting half-a-second faster and leaving not only the bad memories of Bydgoszcz behind him but his rivals too. In Rome in July 2009, he scorched to 9.96sec. Blake was just 19 years and 197 days. No one younger had ever broken 10 seconds. Then one week later in Paris he went faster still – this time to 9.93sec. Much of the credit for Yohan Blake`s development can be given to coach Mills whose Jamaica-based Racers’ Club is one of two adidas-funded programmes – the other being in Florida. The Racers’ Club offers an environment in which tomorrow’s stars can live, eat and train alongside the Olympic and world champions of today. Yohan Blake is the IAAF world 100m champion, Olympic Games silver medallist at both the 100m and 200m, Olympic gold medallist, world champion and world record holder at the 4x100m.He is the second fastest man ever at both the 100m and 200m. At 19 years and 197 days he was the youngest man to have ever broken the 10-second barrier for 100m. His lifetime bests – 100m: 9.69sec (2012); 200m: 19.26sec (’11). On August 28th 2011 he won world 100m title in Daegu, clocking 9.92sec into a 1.4m/sec wind and September 4 he ran the third leg for Jamaica as they take gold and break the world record for the 4x100m in Daegu. On September 8th 2011 he scorched to 100m victory at the prestigious Zurich meeting on a windless night in 9.82sec. In September 11th 2011 he repeated his Zurich performance in Berlin with another win in 9.82sec. While in September 16 th2011 stunned Brussels with the second fastest ever 200m, 19.26sec. He was the 2012 Jamaica National Senior Champion 100m and 200m.

Yohan Blake, Columbus Short and Bruce Bowen are unrelated celebrity twins. They enjoy smiling and are famous people who look alike.

Richard Pryor was an American comedian, actor, film director, social critic, satirist, writer, and MC. He was born Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor III on 1st December 1940, Peoria, Illinois, USA and die 10th December 2005, Encino, Los Angeles, California, USA of a heart attack. His nicknames were Richie, Dickie, Dick and Rich. He stood at a height of 5′ 10″. Highly influential, and always controversial, African/American actor/comedian who was equally well known for his colorful language during his live comedy shows, as for his fast paced life, multiple marriages and battles with drug addiction. He has been acknowledged by many modern comic artist’s as a key influence on their careers, and Richard Pryor`s observational humor on African/American life in the USA during the 1970s was razor sharp brilliance. Richard Pryor was born the son of a prostitute, and was abandoned by his mother at ten years of age, after which he was raised in his grandmother’s brothel. Unfortunately, Richard Pryor was molested at the age of six by a teenage neighbor, and later by a neighborhood preacher. To escape this troubled life, the young Richard Pryor was an avid movie fan and a regular visitor to local movie theaters in Peoria. After numerous jobs, including truck driver and meat packer, the young Pryor did a stint in the US Army between 1958 & 1960 in which he performed in amateur theater shows. After he left the services in 1960, Richard Pryor started singing in small clubs, but inadvertently found that humor was his real forte. Richard Pryor was known for uncompromising examinations of racism and topical contemporary issues, which employed colorful vulgarities, and profanity, as well as racial epithets. He reached a broad audience with his trenchant observations and storytelling style. He is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians of all time. His body of work includes the concert movies and recordings Richard Pryor: Live & Smokin’ (1971), That Nigger’s Crazy (1974), …Is It Something I Said? (1975), Bicentennial Nigger (1976), Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979), Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip (1982), and Richard Pryor: Here and Now (1983). He also starred in numerous films as an actor, such as Superman III (1983) but was usually in comedies such as Silver Streak (1976), and occasionally in dramatic roles, such as Paul Schrader’s film Blue Collar (1978). He collaborated on many projects with actor Gene Wilder. Another frequent collaborator was actor/comedian/writer Paul Mooney.
Richard Pryor won an Emmy Award (1973), and five Grammy Awards (1974, 1975, 1976, 1981, and 1982). In 1974, he also won two American Academy of Humor awards and the Writers Guild of America Award. The first ever Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor was presented to him in 1998. Richard Pryor is listed at Number 1 on Comedy Central’s list of all-time greatest stand-up comedians.  Richard Pryor spent time in both New York & Las Vegas, honing his comic craft. However, his unconventional approach to humor sometimes made bookings difficult to come by and this eventually saw Richard Pryor heading to Los Angeles. He first broke into films with minor roles in The Busy Body (1967) and Wild in the Streets (1968). However, his performance as a drug addicted piano player in Lady Sings the Blues (1972), really got the attention of fans and film critics alike. He made his first appearance with Gene Wilder in the very popular action/comedy Silver Streak (1976), played three different characters in Which Way Is Up? (1977) and portrayed real-life stock-car driver “Wendell Scott” in Greased Lightning (1977). Proving he was more than just a comedian, Richard Pryor wowed audiences as a disenchanted auto worker who is seduced into betraying his friends and easy money in the Paul Schrader working class drama Blue Collar (1978), also starring Yaphet Kotto and Harvey Keitel. Always a strong advocate of African/American talent, Richard Pryor next took a key role in The Wiz (1978), starring an all African/American cast, including Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, retelling the story of The Wizard of Oz (1939). His next four screen roles were primarily cameos in California Suite (1978); The Muppet Movie (1979); Wholly Moses! (1980) and In God We Tru$t (1980). However, Richard Pryor teamed up with Gene Wilder once more for the prison comedy Stir Crazy (1980), which did strong box office business. His next few films were a mixed bag of material, often inhibiting Richard Pryor `s talent, with equally mixed returns at the box office. Richard Pryor then scored second billing to Christopher Reeve in the big budget Superman III (1983), and starred alongside fellow funny man John Candy in Brewster’s Millions (1985) before revealing his inner self in the autobiographical Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling (1986). Again, Richard Pryor was somewhat hampered by poor material in his following film ventures. However, he did turn up again in See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989) with Gene Wilder, but the final product was not as sharp as their previous pairings. Richard Pryor then partnered on-screen with two other very popular African/American comic’s. The legendary Redd Foxx and 1980s comic newcomer Eddie Murphy starred with Richard Pryor in the gangster film Harlem Nights (1989) which was also directed by Eddie Murphy. Having contracted multiple sclerosis in 1986, Richard Pryor `s remaining film appearances were primarily cameos apart from his fourth and final outing with Gene Wilder in the lukewarm Another You (1991), and his final appearance in a film production was a small role in the David Lynch road flick Lost Highway (1997). Fans of this outrageous comic genius are encouraged to see his live specials Richard Pryor: Live and Smokin’ (1971); the dynamic Richard Pryor: Live in Concert (1979); Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip (1982) and Richard Pryor… Here and Now (1983). In addition, The Richard Pryor Show (1977) is a must-have for any Richard Pryor fans’ DVD collection.
