Bolt to skip 2 Europe meets

USAIN Bolt said he will skip the Golden Spike meet in the Czech Republic city of Ostrava and a Diamond League meet in Paris because he is behind with his training following a foot injury

“I had to miss some training in late March and early April due to a foot injury,” Bolt said in a message to the organizers yesterday. “Thankfully, my foot is 100 percent healthy now and I am back in full training.”

But, “due to the training that I missed I am behind where I am at normally at this time of year and will not be ready to race in the Ostrava Golden Spike meet or Meeting Areva in Paris”.

The Golden Spike is set for June 17, and the six-time Olympic champion was to race for the seventh time there. US sprinter Justin Gatlin will replace Bolt in Ostrava. The Paris meet is on July 5.
