Bolt to run 100 at JII - Sports - Jamaica Gleaner - Tuesday | April 24, 2012

Bolt to run 100 at JII - Sports - Jamaica Gleaner - Tuesday | April 24, 2012: "It has been confirmed: world record holder and Olympic champion Usain Bolt will run his first 100m of the year at the JN Jamaica International Invitational (JII) track and field athletics meet at the National Stadium on May 5.

The Racers Track Club superstar made his first appearance two Saturdays ago at the University of Technology Track and Field Classics, where he ran the anchor leg in a 4x100m relay and outpaced former world record holder Asafa Powell of MVP to lead Racers to world-leading 37.82 seconds win.

Bolt, who twice set world records in the event - first at the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 (9.69) and a year later at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics in Berlin (9.58), will follow up his Kingston assignment with other 100m runs in Ostrava, Rome and Oslo, as he continues his preparation ahead of this summer's London Olympics."
