Asafa Powell will anchor Jamaica in the USA vs the World Men 4x100m on Saturday (25 April) at Penn Relays.
Nesta Carter will lead off Jamaica to Michael Frater and Jason Livermore. Jamaica, in 2008, ran a world record 37.10 with Carter, Frater, Usain Bolt and Powell.
Justin Gatlin, who is a member of Team USA, was quoted as saying "coming here and running against Jamaicans is not just a team versus team thing, it's a country versus country kind of thing. It's always exciting, especially early in the beginning of the season. It gets the season pumped up."
"It's gonna be a little chilly, so I hope no one gets injured because we want to have a great season moving forward and I'm always happy to go up against all the countries," said Gatlin.
