January 12, 2012

Usain Bolt will make his first international appearance of the year at the Bislett Games in Oslo on June 7TH.

The triple Olympic champion will run in the 100 metres at the event, which takes place six weeks before the 2012 Olympics gets underway.

Before that he plans to run at least three training races in Jamaica, beginning next month.

Bolt, currently the 100m and 200m world record holder, will take part in races in Kingston at the Camperdown Classic on 11 February, the Gibson Relays on 25 Feb and the UWI Invitational on 17 March.

He is expected to run the 400m at the events to gauge his fitness, with his first sprint race likely to come at the Jamaica International Invitational in Kingston on 5 May.
