Usain Bolt: team captain
USAIN BOLT is headlining a revolutionary series of events in Australia which organisers are saying will transform athletics.
According to Athletics Australia (AA), Nitro Athletics, which will take place on February 4, February 9 and February 11, 2017, in Mebourne, “will be like no athletics competition seen before and will not just feature traditional events – this will be a different spin on traditional athletics and will include a mix of power, endurance, technique and teamwork.”
The world’s fastest man will captain ‘Bolt All-Stars’, one of six teams of 24 athletes from Australia and around the world.
AA president Mark Arbib said: “Nitro Athletics will be the catalyst that will change how athletics is presented.”
