Usain Bolt will be among the galaxy of athletic talent heading to London in July
World's fastest man Usain Bolt is set to race on both days of the London Anniversary Games this summer, according to a report in the Daily Telegraph.
The Jamaican, who won three gold medals in the Olympic Stadium last summer, is set to compete in two events and will therefore be in action on both 26 and 27 July.
The meeting, switched from Crystal Palace in order to commemorate the anniversary of the London 2012 opening ceremony, will feature an impressive line-up of Olympic champions, before the stars of the Paralympics take centre stage on 28 July.
Bolt has won the 100m and the 200m at the last two Olympics and is expected to compete in one of those events at the Anniversary Games, plus the 4x100m relay.
He is set to be joined by fellow Jamaican Yohan Blake, the world 100m champion, and David Rudisha of Kenya, who set a new world record when he won the 800m Olympic gold in stunning fashion last summer, is also understood to have the event on his schedule.
Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis and Greg Rutherford won athletics gold medals for Great Britain last summer and will once again compete in front of their home fans.
