In Summary

  • Athletics organisers in Korea and China offered appearance allowance of Sh38m

Bolt, who broke his own 100m world record by clocking 9.58 seconds in Berlin last month, is due to run the 200 metres at the World Athletics Final in Greece this weekend, which is likely to wind up his long season.

Moon Dong-hoo, vice-president of the organising committee for the 2011 Daegu World Championships, said Bolt’s absence is expected to have a huge effect on the public interest in the Pre-Championship Meeting in Daegu.
