Bolt to run 7 Diamond League races

KINGSTON: Athletics sensation Usain Bolt – triple world and Olympic Champion – will return to regular training next week as he starts his preparation for the 2010 season.

The track and field superstar will feature in seven races in the new IAAF Diamond League next season, that according to coach Mills, will be at the top of their agenda.

“The Diamond League is our major project next year, in which he’ll be running seven races between the 100 and 200 meters, that’s what we are going to be focusing on. Competing in the Diamond League is our number one priority we’ll then see how the rest of the season develops and we’ll take it from there.

He said what happened in 2010 will gear towards 2011, saying “Whatever we do will have a direct bearing on the future”

Mills, however, did not say which seven of the 14 Diamond League meets Bolt will run.
