Bolt To Run Two Events At London IAAF Worlds

The fastest man in the world Usain Bolt has confirmed that he will feature in the 100m and 4x100m relay at the IAAF World Championships in London in August.

The championship is expected to be his final event before retiring.

Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medallist and one of the world’s most recognisable sports superstars, holds the 100m (9.58 seconds) and 200m (19.19 seconds) world records and won gold medals at the last three Olympic Games.

“My aim is to win in London. I want to retire on a winning note,” the Jamaican, 30, said during a press conference on Wednesday.

The World Championships take place from 4 August to 13 August in London.

The men’s 100m final will be run on Saturday, 5 August, while Bolt’s final race, the men’s 4x100m relay, comes up Saturday, 12 August.
