Usain Bolt has injured his achilles, per his management group,
and will have to take two-three weeks off. This means that Bolt
will not be running the adidas Grand Prix.

The adidas Grand Prix will miss Bolt, but the nearly three hours of
extremely competitive events, with the top athletes in each event,
should keep the SRO crowd at  Icahn Stadium, and the global
TV fans involved!

The showdown between Tyson Gay and Usain Bolt will have to wait.

USAIN BOLT WITHDRAWS FROM ADIDAS GRAND PRIX

Bolt’s management team cites recent injury

NEW YORK (May 31, 2010) — Double Olympic and World champion Usain Bolt
has withdrawn from the adidas Grand Prix due to injury, organizers
announced Monday.

Organizers were notified on Monday afternoon by Bolt’s management team
that Bolt is suffering from an inflammation of his tendon. He provided
the following statement:

“I developed a stiffness in my Achilles tendon last week and sought
medical attention. After careful consultation with Dr. Hans
Müller-Wohlfahrt at his clinic in Munich, I have been advised to take a
2-3 week break as a precautionary measure to avoid risking further
damage. Regrettably I will have to miss the IAAF Diamond League meeting
in New York on Saturday, June 12. I am well aware of the disappointment
for the fans in New York and around the world, but I hope to return to
New York as soon as possible.”

The sixth edition of the adidas Grand Prix on Saturday, June 12, will
still be the deepest in history as 26 Olympic and World champions and
five IAAF Diamond League ambassadors have been announced for the meet.
The event, held at Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island, will be the fifth
stop on the inaugural 14-meet, international Diamond League circuit.

“I know I echo the wishes of all New York area track fans when I say
that we wish Usain a speedy recovery and look forward to welcoming him
back next year,” meet director Mark Wetmore said. “The new Diamond
League format has helped us put together world-class fields in all of
the disciplines, so track and field fans will still experience the best
the sport has ever seen in New York City.”
