Bolt's dash of stardust gets series off to flier

Eight-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt secured a classy win for his All-Stars team with two impressive runs on the final night of the inaugural Nitro Athletics series, and then declared the new format exactly what track and field needs.

After restricting himself to a leg of the mixed 4x100m relay on each of the first two nights at Melbourne's packed Lakeside Stadium, the world's fastest man contested the 150m, winning convincingly.

Bolt was clearly fastest out of the blocks and around the bend to quickly establish a lead of over 10 meters mid-race, before easing up in the closing stages.
