Usain Bolt is to return to London’s former Olympic Stadium to race over 100m on Friday July 22, with the Jamaican sprint star looking forward to the “special atmosphere” of the London Anniversary Games.

The six-time Olympic gold medallist is set to compete on the first evening of the two-day Diamond League meeting as he continues to work towards the Games in Rio.

Bolt has previously flourished under the floodlights on the Friday night of the London Anniversary Games, winning the 100m in both 2013 and 2015 with respective times of 9.85 and 9.87.
