Stockholm - Three of the world's fastest men, including 100 metre world record holder Usain Bolt are set to race at the DN Galan meet in Stockholm next month, organizers said Wednesday.
The 100 metre event includes Bolt, his Jamaican compatriot Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay of the United States.
'It is a great pleasure to confirm and host this exciting race,' DN Galan meet director Rajne Soderberg said.
The trio have not competed in the same race since the 2009 world athletics championships in Berlin, he said.
The August 6 edition of DN Galan is part of the IAAF Diamond League series, and will be held at Stockholm Stadium, venue for the 1912 Olympic Games.
