Triple Olympic gold medallist and world record holder Usain Bolt is now in Switzerland to compete in Friday’s Zurich Grand Prix meet.
He returns to racing just one week, after helping Jamaica to claim the 4 x 100-metre relay in a world record time.
Bolt said he is still in good form. However, he said he would not make any predictions about how fast he will run at the Grand Prix Meet. He will compete in the 100 metres.
The Jamaican ran a world record 9.69 seconds in the 100 metres at the Beijing Olympics despite beginning his celebrations before he crossed the line.
Bolt will be up against six finalists from the Olympic 100 metres, but compatriot Asafa Powell, who runs in Gateshead in England on Sunday, is missing.
