Bolt to race 100, drop 200 at Lausanne meet
GENEVA — Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt will run in the 100 meters instead of the 200 at the Athletissima meet in Lausanne, Switzerland, this week.
Organizers say the Olympic and world champion switched to the shorter race in Thursday’s event to avoid aggravating a sore Achilles’ tendon.
Athletissima spokesman Pierre-Andre Pasche says Bolt is recovering well from the injury but made the change after consulting his doctor in Munich.
Pasche says the IAAF has accepted the change.
