Triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt has decided to run a 100 metres rather than a 200 to avoid further injury at Thursday's Diamond League meeting, organisers said on Tuesday. 

The race will be the Jamaican world record holder's first since he strained his Achilles tendon in May.

"(He) confirmed he is completely recovered from his injury," organisers said in a statement. "However, after consulting with Dr. Muller, the doctor who treated him in Munich, the Jamaican decided to run the 100m race rather than the 200m in order to avoid further injuries."
