Beijing Olympic triple gold medallist Usain Bolt returns to the track on June 11 to compete at the Toronto’s Festival of Excellence meeting.



The 22 year old Jamaican, who ran the fastest 150 metres in a Manchester street race earlier this month, will compete over 100 metres.



Bolt will take on 2004 Olympic 200 metre champion Shawn Crawford and fellow Americans Bernard Williams and Ivory Williams.



He will also be up against countrymen Marvin Anderson and Mario Forsythe.



The street race was Bolt’s first since he crashed his BMW on a highway outside of Kingston.
