PokerStars will provide the bibs for all eight athletes competing in the men’s 100m race, as they tune up for next month’s  the IAAF London World Championships in London. The race will undoubtedly be a monumental historic significance to the world of athletics, as it’s the penultimate race of Bolt’s illustrious career.  

Eric Hollreiser, PokerStars Director of Corporate Communications lauded the unmistakeable Bolt with praise, “Usain is one of the greatest athletes in history and we look forward to seeing him in what will be an exciting event for sport fans around the world.” He went onto add that “PokerStars is proud to support the men’s 100m race at the IAAF Monaco Diamond League and further our relationship with Usain Bolt.”
