Jamaica’s Yohan Blake glanced over at Justin Gatlin of the United States and ended up losing semi-finals Heat Two to Andre De Grasse of Canada at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar, Saturday morning.

Blake, running in lane four, looked over at his rival Gatlin in lane five, but failed to see the danger in de Grasse, running in lane seven, with the latter coming through to win.

De Grasse finished in 10.07 seconds with Blake doing 10.09, as they locked up the two automatic qualifiers for the final, which will be run later Saturday afternoon. Gatlin also finished in 10.09 and got into the final as one of two fastest qualifiers.
