Usain Bolt and his All-Star team are looking to be crowned the first winners of the new Nitro Athletics competition as three days of action concludes with a grand final in Melbourne.

Nitro Athletics is a new team event which has the backing of athletes including Bolt and the sport's chief Lord Sebastian Coe - with events such as a mixed hurdles relay, target javelin and an elimination mile - just three new disciplines which could, as Coe says, help  'revolutionise the sport'. Along with the Bolt All-Stars and England, teams from Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan are also involved. It has been suggested this event could be for athletics what Twenty20 is for cricket. Time will tell but sports fans and those in the athletics world will certainly hope so.
