Yes, that's correct, says the gala's press chief John-Eric Ericsson.

In a text message to Expressen, Jan Kowalski, competition leader for the competition in Stockholm, writes:

”I'll keep it short. I'm in Oslo ahead of the Bauhaus gala and with a bit of luck, I might run into Bolt already here”.

The 38-year-old Jamaican, one of the greatest athletes in history, holds the world records in both 100 and 200 meters. Bolt won eight Olympic Games gold medals and eleven World Championship gold medals before he stopped after the World Championship 2017.

The competition at Stockholm Stadium will be decided on Sunday.
