Usain Bolt Set for adidas Grand Prix on June 13
Will Compete in NYC for First Time Since His Stunning 100m WR in 2008
NEW YORK CITY (March 25, 2015) -- Usain Bolt will compete in New York City for the first time since 2008 when he returns to the adidas Grand Prix on June 13, organizers announced today.
It will be a homecoming of sorts for Bolt, who set his first World Record in winning the 100 meters in 9.72 seconds at Icahn Stadium on May 31, 2008. His 100-meter World Record now stands at 9.58 seconds, while his 200-meter mark is 19.19. Bolt has competed in the United States only once since that night, when he anchored a Jamaican 4x100-meter team at the 2010 Penn Relays.
