KINGSTON (Reuters) - Usain Bolt, fellow world record holders David Rudisha and Wayde van Niekerk and middle distance king Mo Farah will headline the JN Racers Grand Prix on June 10, organisers announced on Friday. The meet dubbed a 'salute to the legend' is set to be Bolt's last professional race in Jamaica as the eight-times Olympic sprint champion closes the meet in the 100 metres. He will share the spotlight at the Kingston meet, at least partially, with a decorated group including two-times Olympic 800m champion Rudisha of Kenya. Also scheduled to compete will be South African van Niekerk, who electrified the Rio Olympics with a world record of 43.03 seconds in the 400m. Bolt hinted that his 200m world record of 19.19 could one day be under threat from van Niekerk, whose best mark is 19.94.
