Greene in Caribbean Grand Prix

FORT DE FRANCE: American Olympic 100-metre champion Maurice Greene is making a Caribbean appearance this weekend when he competes at Martinique’s Conseil General meet.

The 28-year-old Greene, who is also the reigning World 100-metre champion, is set to run the 100 and 200 metres at the IAAF Grand Prix II meeting tomorrow, organisers said on Wednesday. Greene is set to attempt the double at this year’s world championships in Paris. The three-time world 100-metre world champion and former world record holder has made only one appearance so far this season — running 20.16 seconds to win the Mount SAC Relays 200 metres in California last Saturday. His Trinidadian training partner Ato Boldon has pulled out of this weekend’s meet because of a thigh strain he suffered at the Mount SAC Relays.
