PRAGUE (AP) — Golden Spike meet organizers say Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt will run in Ostrava again.

The 50th edition of the meet in the eastern Czech city is scheduled for May 31 and Bolt will race for the fifth time at the meet, which is part of the new IAAF World Challenge series.

It is still not clear into which event Bolt will run, but organizers say they are ready for all three possible options — the 100, 200 and the rarely contested 300 meters.

Bolt, who holds the world record at 100 and 200, won the 300 at the Golden Spike last year in 30.97 seconds but rainy conditions prevented him from challenging the world mark of 30.85 set by Michael Johnson in Pretoria, South Africa, in 2000.
