Bolt, who will make his first 100m appearance in Europe this season after withdrawing from the Paris and Lausanne Diamond League meets due to injury, was entered along with fellow Jamaicans, Nesta Carter and Kemar Bailey-Cole, as well as Frenchman, Jimmy Vicaut – who ran a European record 9.86 earlier this season, Americans Ryan Bailey and Mike Rodgers as well as veteran Kim Collins and Brit Richard Kilty.

The men’s 100m would be contested in two heats, which start at 8:17pm (2:17pm Jamaica time) on Friday, with the final set for 9:29pm (3:29pm) on the same evening.
Bolt had only competed in a single 100m race so far this season, running 10.13 in a -1.3 wind at a meet in Brazil in the middle of April.
As a result, many questions had been raised about his ability to defend his 100m and 200m world titles won at the previous instalment in Moscow, Russia, with the next month’s championships just around the corner.
However, according to reports, Bolt had been training well and was expected to give some good indications of his readiness at this Friday’s meet.
The Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games London Diamond League would be staged over two days, culminating on Saturday at the site of the 2012 Olympic Games.
