Yohan Blake is still feeling confident about his chances at gold in the 200 meters. He failed to beat teammate Usain Bolt in the 100, settling for silver. But he is hinting that he could pull off an upset in the 200. He beat Bolt in both events at the Jamaican trials. "I'm feeling good. I've trained for this. That's why they call me 'The Beast,' " he said Tuesday after advancing in his 200 heat. "The track is fast. Usain is really fast, but I'm in great shape. Anything is possible." Bolt, however, has scoffed at Blake's claims he can beat the world's fastest man. — Jenna Fryer — Twitter http://www.twitter.com/jennafryer ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
