Bolt to run the 200 metres at the Athletissima Diamond League
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (CMC) — Sprint legend Usain Bolt, the Olympic and World Champion, is set to run the 200 metres at the Athletissima Diamond League meeting here on July 9.
It will be the Jamaican’s second big race of the summer, with the six-time Olympic champion also down to line up in the 100 metres at the Areva meeting in Paris five days earlier.
Bolt has yet to finalise the remainder of his summer programme before the World Championships in Beijing from August 22 to 30.
The world-record holder in the 100m and 200m, will race the 200 metres for the fourth time in Lausanne.
He holds the meeting record of 19.58 seconds, set in 2012.
