Jamaican World record holder Asafa Powell will make his international debut at a low key meet at the second AthleticsBet meet in Belgrade, Serbia.
Powell, who missed the last three meeting because of a knee injury is set to make a return on May 29, his manager told a local paper in Kingston.
“Well, his first meet will be in Belgrade on the 29th of May,” manager Paul Doyle said.
“It’s sort of a low-keyed meet and as an opener we figured it would be a good start for Asafa… it gives him enough time before the Eugene (Oregon, USA) meet, the Prefontaine Classic (on Sunday, June 10).”
Doyle added that the sprinter is back at full strength and is training hard again in an attempt to win his first World Championships gold medal this summer.
