Zurich, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The Zurich Weltklasse meet promises a feast of athletics this evening. The fun starts at 18:15 with junior races, the opening ceremony will be at 19:15 and the main programme begins at 20:00. The mens’ 400 metres is at 21:00 followed by the real highlight of the evening when Jamaican superstar Usain Bolt will take on his countryman Asafa Powell. Bolt confessed to being a little tired after an amazing performance at Berlin where he won three golds and broke two of his own world records. He hinted that he might have a go at long jump in the future, but seemed to rule out a move up to 400m, which many think would be a natural distance for him.
