Stockholm -Jamaican sprint star Usain Bolt is set to return to the track where he lost a 100m race to American Tyson Gay last year.
Bolt will run the 200m at the DN Galan stadium in the Stockholm Diamond League meeting on July 29. The Jamaican, who holds the world record times for the 100m and 200m events, said that history would not repeat itself at the event.
"I will be back - and I will not lose," said Bolt.
Gay will not be competing at the event as he has undergone surgery to repair a hip injury.
Meet director Rajne Soderberg said he was looking forward to watching Bolt and Gay competing again.
"It is a great pleasure to confirm Usain Bolt's return to DN Galan," said Soderberg.
"US sports channel Universal Sports voted last year's 100 metres race at the DN Galan between Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay as the top performance of the year in 2010. It will be interesting to see Bolt run the 200 metres."
Before Stockholm, the 11th meet on the 14-leg Diamond League circuit, Bolt will get an outing over 100m in Monaco on July 22 as he hones his preparations for defending his titles at the August 27 to September 4 world championships in Daegu, South Korea.
