The Anniversary Games is taking place in London and some of our favourite sports stars have already been showing off their skills.

Six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt showed a return to form to win the 100m at the Anniversary Games in London.

The Jamaican, who has been struggling for fitness, won both his heat and the final in 9.87 seconds in wet conditions at the Olympic Stadium.

"I really wanted to run faster," said Bolt, 28, who defends his world title next month. "But it's getting there."

Meanwhile, Britain's double Olympic champion Mo Farah recieved a great reception as he won the 3,000m.
