Sprint king Bolt set for 100m in Toronto warmup

TORONTO: Triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt will warm up for a European campaign focused on the August World Championships by contesting the 100m at the inaugural Festival of Excellence athletics meeting here on Thursday.

Among those challenging Bolt will be Americans Bernard Williams, a 2000 Olympic gold medalist in the 4x100m relay, and Shawn Crawford, the 2004 Olympic 200m champion.

World record-holder Bolt will race his first 100m since injuring his foot in the wake of a road accident in April.
