The 2nd Annual South Florida Multi-Cultural Games will see athletes from over ten different nations represented on Monday, April 29 at the Ansin Sports Complex in Miramar, Florida. The games which get underway at 12 noon will feature athletes from Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico and the United States.

Highlights of the meet are expected to come from a host of athletes from the world's "sprint factory" Jamaica, representing the University of Technology's which is a prominent track and field institution. What is at stake however, is that this meet represents the final opportunity for some of the athletes appearing to qualify for a shot to obtain a time and secure slots in the 2013 World Championship Games in Moscow, Russia in August

The Jamaicans who will be looking to dominate will be going up against U.S. athletes from USA Track and Field Olympian Dennis Mitchell's camp, who will not only be looking to make their mark against their counterparts but to secure their place in the World Championship Games as well.

Ansin Sports Complex has an FTX Mondo surface which is only one of a total of eight in the United States and is the same surface used at the Beijing Olympic Games. The athletes will be looking to take full advantage of the surface.

The City of Miramar who is the organizer of the event is looking to grow the event to the magnitude of the famous Penn Relays and is confident that the event which is free to the public will be very competitive especially with what's at stake. Vice Mayor Alexandra P. Davis who was instrumental in the collaboration efforts of the games told the National Weekly she is looking forward to a very competitive and exciting meet.

Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt will race in London for the first time in four years in a Grand Prix when he lines up at the London 2012 Anniversary Games in July. Bolt has snubbed Diamond League events in Britain since 2009 because of tax rules which would have seen him give up a percentage of his appearance fee and endorsement money.
However, the British government last month amended legislation to exempt "non-resident athletes" from paying income tax, a move that eased the financial restrictions on elite runners like Bolt.
The 26-year-old, the toast of last year's Olympiad, has confirmed his participation for the sprint replay and the marquee 100 meters, which will also feature veteran Kittitian sprinter Kim Collins.
"I'm looking forward to coming back to the UK, especially with it being a year since winning three gold medals in the Olympic Stadium," Bolt said.
"The crowd was amazing at the Games and I hope they will be out again in their numbers at the end of July. I haven't competed at the London Diamond League since 2009, but it has always been a great meet with lots of Jamaican support. It almost feels like running at home."

Yohan Blake has been sidelined for at least six weeks after medical reports indicated that the injury he suffered last Saturday; which was first thought to be a mere cramp turned out to be more serious.
Blake the current World Championship 100m champion pulled up in the UTech Classic 100 meters event griping his right hamstring.
According to a Jamaica Observer report Timothy Spencer, a member of Blake's management team told the newspaper that an MRI report revealed that Blake's injury was more serious than first thought. He was quoted as saying, "It's not a bad injury, it's not just a cramp, and he won't have any competition for approximately six weeks."
Spencer and the rest of Blake's team are hoping their star sprinter will be ready for the Moscow 2013 World Championships set for August. However he will miss at least three meets coming up next month starting with the Jamaica Invitational set for May 4, in Jamaica; The Doha Diamond League, the first meeting on the IAAF Diamond League calendar May 10, and the Shanghai Diamond League scheduled for May 18.
