Usain Bolt to run in Monaco before World Champs

Jamaican star sprinter and 8ight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt will run the 100 meters at the Diamond League meeting in Monaco on July 21, organizers announced on Wednesday.

Bolt is competing in his final season before retirement and will use the Monaco event as a warm-up for the world championships in London that start on August 5.

The 100 meter world-record holder (9.58 seconds) won his first race of the year in Kingston earlier this month in 10.03 seconds, and is also due to run in Ostrava on June 28.

Bolt, who has won 3 Olympic 100 meter – 200 meter doubles, will only compete in the 100 meters for his farewell at the worlds.
