(ATR) Two-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt will end his 2014 schedule in August.

Bolt will compete in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow as part of Jamaica’s 4x100m relay team before racing in a special 100m meet on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro.

After racing in Rio, Bolt will compete in Poland and Zurich on August 23 and 28 wrapping up his 2014 schedule.

Bolt will not race United States sprinter Justin Gatlin in 2014. Gatlin was suspended in 2006 for doping, returned in 2010, and has won 11 consecutive 100m races in 2014.

The "Mano a Mano" race will take place on August 14 on the Copacabana. Bolt previously raced on the iconic beach in 2013 for a special one-off 150m race.
