Triple Olympic and World Championship gold medalist, Usain Bolt, will contest seven races in the new International Association of Athletics Federations Diamond League next year.
Glen Mills, coach of the world record holder, says Bolt will run seven races between the 100 and 200 metres.
The series will commence from 2010 and aims to enhance the worldwide appeal of track and field by going outside of Europe for the first time with major meets.
In addition to the current Golden League venues and other traditional European meetings, the Diamond League will include events in the United States, China and Qatar.
