Bolt to run in London Anniversary Games
Six-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt will run in the London Anniversary Games ahead of his multiple title defence at the Rio Olympics in August.
The Jamaican world record holder in the 100 and 200 metres will participate in the IAAF Diamond League meeting on July 22 at Queen Elizabeth Park in London.
“The London Anniversary Games will be one of my last races before the Olympic Games in Rio. It will be good to return to the Olympic Stadium on the Friday night and get more of the special atmosphere that the fans always produce,” the 29-year-old sprinter said in a statement.
