Rome - Golden Gala organisers have announced that world record-holder Usain Bolt will run the 100m at the meet in Rome on May 26.

It will mark Bolt's first Diamond League meet of the season, with the Jamaican also committed to run the 200m in June at the Bislett Games in Oslo.

Rome officials also announced at a news conference Friday that 800m world record-holder David Rudisha will be at the Golden Gala, which is held annually at the 80 000-seat Stadio Olimpico.

The stadium is often half empty for the meet, but organizers are hoping more fans show up this year.
