Olympic champion Keshorn Walcott will be seeking his first win of the IAAF Diamond League circuit when he competes in the Exxon Mobil Bislet Games in Oslo, Norway, today.
The 20-year-old Olympic gold medallist was sixth in the first Diamond League in Doha, Qatar, on May 10, with a distance of 79.79m and finished in the same spot on the Shanghai leg eight days later with 79.02.
The Toco Secondary graduate warmed up for the Olso meet with a third-place finish at the Joensuu Games in Joensuu, Finland, on Sunday with a third-round effort of 78.90.
Sprint icon Usain Bolt returns to competition today, a week after losing to American Justin Gatlin in the 100 metres.
The triple Olympic champion will attempt to return to winning ways when he competes in the 200m at the Oslo Diamond League meet.
Bolt will lead three other Jamaicans into competition–Marvin Anderson, Sherri-Ann Brooks (100m) and Kimberly Williams (triple jump)–who have been included on the meet's provisional list.
He will be running the longer sprint for the first time this season after suffering a slight hamstring injury in late May.
His countryman Anderson has a season's best of 21.04 seconds, the slowest of all competitors in the field, which includes the consistent Churandy Martina and Jaysuma Saidy Ndure who both have sub-20 seconds personal bests.
They are three major absentees from the women's 100m–two-time Olympic 100m champion Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, 100m World champion Carmelita Jeter and former 100m World champion Veronica Campbell-Brown.
However, the race features Ivory Coast's rising star Murielle Ahoure who last week defeated Olympic and several time World Champion Allyson Felix in the 200m. (CMC)
