The world fastest man Usain Bolt has confirmed his appearance at 49th Ostrava Golden Spike Meeting on 27 May in the Czech Republic.

The Golden Spike is part of the IAAF World Challenge series of meetings 

Jamaica's multiple World and Olympic champion and record breaking sprinter will run the 300m in competition for the first time in his career. It will be Bolt's fourth appearance at the Ostrava meeting since 2006.

"I have done some 300's in training so am used to the distance but this will be my first time to race it. If the weather is good I hope to run a fast time," commented Bolt. 

Michael Johnson's world best 30.85 from 2000 was achieved in high altitude of Pretoria, South Africa.
