Veronica Campbell-Brown (right) and JeterJamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown and American sprinter Carmelita Jeter will face-off for the third time this season at next month's Diamond League meet in Zurich.
Jeter, the second fastest 100m runner of all time, had won nine of ten races this year. She was only defeated by Olympic and world champion Campbell-Brown.
Meanwhile, organizers of the Aug. 19 Weltklasse meet, on Thursday, confirmed trackalerts.com last week's report that that Olympic and world champion Bolt will anchor a Jamaica team including Mario Forsythe, Yohan Blake, and Marvin Anderson against the USA with Tyson Gay.
"The Usain Bolt-anchored Jamaican team with Forsythe, Blake, and Anderson will be facing a US team who will set out to write relay history," said organisers.
Gay will spearhead a US team that is also due to feature Wallace Spearmon and Walter Dix, all of whom are 200m specialists. Trell Kimmons, who had led the US junior team to a world record in recent years, will run the first baton.
The last time the Jamaican quartet took to the track, Bolt took his team across the line in 37.90, beating USA at the Penn Relays in Franklin Field stadium in Philadelphia.

Are you sure it's not nutmeg she's putting under her tongue.
Apart from my allegiance, I happen to be a fan of the Jeta..... I like that huffing and puffing she does during her races...She makes the 100 looks very hard to do....Unlike some others who run effortlessly, and Flo jo who appeared to be smiling during her races.
HomeT, no hardfeelings ....If you saw her taking that pill again, take a picture. Zoom in of course...
JA vs USA.. real cracker indeed!
