Monaco - In addition to the already announced Usain Bolt, the Fédération Monégasque d'Athlétisme is proud to announce the presence of triple European Champion Christophe Lemaitre who will run the 100m at the Louis II Stadium on 22 July.

After setting a new French record of 9.95sec at the recent European Team Championship in Stockholm on 18 June Lemaitre will come to Monaco for the 10th leg of the 2011 Samsung Diamond League with credible ambitions.

Ideally scheduled one month ahead of the IAAF World Championships in Daegu, Herculis 2011 will offer the European 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay champion a chance to run against the world’s best runners. In addition to the triple Olympic and World Champion Usain Bolt, Lemaitre will be running against European Indoor Champion Francis Obikwelu, and the rising stars Yohan Blake and Mike Rodgers, both qualified for Daegu.
