After a season hampered by injury and being eclipsed on the track by someone who has served two doping bans, Usain Bolt is seeking to regain his form in London.

The Jamaican, a six-time Olympic champion, will join half a dozen Olympic and world champions starting Friday at Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games. Bolt hasn’t had a good season, struggling with a pelvic injury that kept him out of the past two Diamond League meets in Lausanne and Paris. Friday’s 100 meters Diamond League dash at London’s Olympic stadium will be his first in six weeks, and comes a month before the IAAF World Championships in Beijing.
