Former 100 metres world record holder Asafa Powell and ex-world champion Tyson Gay will meet at this year’s Diamond League events in Birmingham and London, organisers said in a statement on Friday.
American Gay won by 0.02 seconds over the Jamaican in Gateshead last year and they will clash again on July 10th in Birmingham and at the August 5-6 Crystal Palace meeting.
World and Olympic champion Usain Bolt is likely to miss both events, due mainly to British tax rules on promotional earnings that the Jamaican blamed for his absence last year.
