Oslo, Norway, January 11 - Triple World record holder Usain Bolt will be competing in the ExxonMobil Bislett Games on 7 June in Oslo, Norway in the 100m.
The meeting in Oslo is one of 14 Samsung Diamond League meets in 2012 and the first in which Bolt has confirmed his participation.
“I am looking forward to come back to Oslo and the Bislett Games this summer and try the 100 metres,” said Bolt, the 2011 Athlete of the Year. “I have so many good memories from this great city with its fantastic stadium last year. I was really happy with my performance last year when I ran 19.87 in the 200 metres in front of a sold out stadium with its enthusiastic crowd. That race ended up being my second fastest 200m race of my season.”
“We are proud of having the biggest sport stars in the world lined up for our 100 metres race,” said Meeting Director Steinar Hoen.
