GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) — Usain Bolt will run in the 100 metres instead of the 200 at the Athletissima meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, this week.
Organisers 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.
