Usain Bolt Returns to Brazil on March 31st
Brazil will get to see Usain Bolt at least once before the 2016 Summer Olympic Games as the world's fastest man is scheduled to run a 150-meter race along Copacabana Beach on March 31st. Bolt will be racing against three other athletes on a track created along the beach for the "street meet."
The 150-meter dash record already belongs to Bolt (14.35 seconds) after setting it at a 2009 meet in Manchester, England. According to the press release by Globo Esporte, he closed the last 100-meters of that race in 8.70 seconds.
Bolt has only raced once on the track in 2013 after racing the 400-meter dash at the Camerdown Classic. His time of 46.74 was good enough to place second overall behind fellow countryman Warren Weir.
The six-time Olympic gold medalist most recently made headlines after dunking at the 2013 NBA Celebrity All-Star Game.
