Usain Bolt is competing at the Anniversary Games in London on July 22nd, which will be his first race since the injury he sustained at the first round 100m race at Kingston. He personally confirmed it at the Official Facebook page of British Athletics.

If the 100m and 200m record holder does manage to get back to his best, he can potentially be the first person to hold the 'triple' Olympic medals of the 100m and 200m men's category, having won both the medals in Beijing and London.

Well if he does make it, we can collectively say, "Come on man, he's Bolt"
