Hi-Lyte sport drink brand manager, Julette FoxHosang, says the calm demeanour and character of West Indies Women's all-rounder Stafanie Taylor were two of the reasons behind her company's decision to sign the world-ranked cricketer as a brand ambassador. The one-year deal, which includes cash, kind and incentives, will see Taylor joining 2008 Beijing Olympics 100 metres silver medallist Kerron Stewart as Hi'Lyte 's lead ambassadors.
With Bolt emerging as the overall 100m champion of the recently concluded Diamond League series he, along with defending 100m world champion Yohan Blake, qualified for a bye to the World Championships. "I think Blake has earned his right to compete in the 100m by winning the 100m at the last World Championships, so I was always going to run the 100m," he added. "For the 200m, that will have to be determined based on what the JAAA decides, because I think that they are the ones who pick which wild card they want," [Bolt] said.
