Desiree Henry will warm up for Rio Olympics by competing at Anniversary Games

Desiree Henry will go head-to-head with some of her sprint rivals at the Anniversary Games as she warms up for next month's Rio Olympics.

The Londoner helped to light the Olympic cauldron at the 2012 Games and will complete a remarkable journey when she competes in Brazil. 

Henry will return to the former Olympic Stadium in the capital for this weekend's event, which will see her line-up in the 100m against the likes of Jamaica's Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce and GB team-mate Dina Asher-Smith.

There were worrying scenes at the recent European Championships when Henry pulled up with cramp, but she has been cleared to compete again and will be seeking a confidence-boosting result.

She said: "That is going to be the last competition before Rio, so I'm going to get a nice feel of what it's going to be like to be out there, competing against some really fast girls."
