NEW YORK, NY (CMC) – Jamaican superstar sprinter Usain Bolt will make his first appearance in seven years at the Adidas Grand Prix here in June, when he headlines the event at the Icahn Stadium.The 28-year-old multiple Olympic and World sprint champion set his first World record in the 100 metres at the venue back in May 2008 when he clocked 9.72 seconds.

Since then, he has run just once in the U.S. – at the Penn Relays – and has gone on to win six Olympic Gold medals, eight World titles and broken seven World records.
Recalling his memories of New York, Bolt said he was anxiously looking forward to the meet.
“No one could ever forget their first world record, and I will never forget the crowd in New York that night,” Bolt said.
“They had to wait for an hour during a thunderstorm delay before our race, and I don’t think a single person left the stadium. They deserved a great performance, and I’m glad I was able to give it to them. I’m looking forward to running in New York again.”
Organisers did not specify what event Bolt would contest.
The Adidas Grand Prix is the third meet for which Bolt has been confirmed, in the upcoming international season. He had earlier signed off on the Athletissima Golden League meeting in Lausanne and the Areva meeting in Paris, both in July.
New York represents the seventh meet of the Diamond League.
Last year, Bolt was forced to cancel most of his engagements on the international circuit because of injury.
