Bolt to head cast at London's "anniversary games"

10:22 am on 18 April 2013

Usain Bolt has confirmed his return to London in late July to compete in the IAAF Diamond League meeting at the Olympic Stadium in which he achieved a clean sweep of gold medals last year.

Jamaica's six-times Olympic champion will head a glittering cast as London's Queen Elizabeth Park celebrates the one-year anniversary of the Olympic opening ceremony.

Other than the Olympics, it will be his first competitive appearance in London since 2009, partly due to Britain's tax laws which would have eaten into his appearance or prize money and endorsements.

An exemption for "non-residents" is now in force.
