Usain Bolt is no longer listed to run the 100 metres at Jamaica's national senior trials as he intends to run Jamaican trials
Kingston (Jamaica): Usain Bolt is no longer listed to run the 100 metres at Jamaica’s national senior trials on Thursday, sparking concerns about his fitness ahead of defending his sprint titles at this year’s world championships in Beijing.
The 100m and 200m world record holder has struggled for form this year and had intended to run at the Jamaican trials as he seeks race sharpness. But Bolt’s name was missing from a list of athletes for the 100m released late on Wednesday. Bolt had been entered along with Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell and Nesta Carter in the preliminary list published by the Jamaican athletics body on Sunday.
