Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell to square off at Paris meet
PARIS, France — World-record holder Usain Bolt will race Jamaican teammate Asafa Powell in the 100 metres at the Diamond League meet in France on July 16.
Race organiser Laurent Boquillet says Bolt’s presence at the Stade de France “should electrify the rest of the race.”
Bolt will also run the 100 on June 12 at the New York leg of the inaugural Diamond League, which is replacing the former Golden League.
Bolt won the 100, 200 and 4×100 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in world-record times
