Usain Bolt will compete in Australia for the first time

Melbourne: Sprint superstar Usain Bolt will compete in Australia for the first time when he headlines an innovative team athletics event next year, he said yesterday.

The nine-time Olympic champion will captain the ‘Bolt All-Stars' for the inaugural Nitro Athletics competition in February.

"This will be track and field as it's never been seen before and that's why I'm involved, not only as a competitor, but also as a captain."
