Usain Bolt to run in London

Athletics fans are expected to flock to the Olympic Stadium to relive memories of 2012, as the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games on July 24-26 deliver the best of the Olympics and Paralympics in three days of action-packed athletics. Central to the weekend will be six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt. Jamaican sprint king Bolt – considered to be one of the greatest sportsmen of all time – last competed individually in the UK at the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games in 2013 where he won the 100m in 9.85 seconds. The 100m and 200m world record holder, also the winner of eight world titles, is looking forward to returning to the scene of his spectacular Olympic triumphs.

Bolt said: “London is a special place where I love to compete and I am looking forward to the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games on July 24. “I have great memories of competing in the Olympic Stadium in the summer of 2012 and in the previous Grand Prix meets in London. “The British fans are always great and I expect there will also be a lot of Jamaican fans in the stadium. It will be amazing to put on another great show for them under the floodlights on the Friday night.”
