Bolt set for Camperdown Classic

Saturday, 13 February 2010 12:18

World 100 and 200 metres record holder Usain Bolt will make his much anticipated 2010 season debut at the sixth staging of the Camperdown Classic inside the National Stadium this evening.

Bolt, who secured three gold medals (100m, 200m & 4x100m) at the Beijing Olympics and Berlin World Championships in 2008 and 2009, respectively, will contest the 400m.

His world respected coach Glen Mills, who has been guiding the lanky sprinter's career since 2004, told Sporting World that no particular targets had been set for Bolt to achieve today.

"(There's) no expectation," Mills said, noting that the race will serve as an ice-breaker for the 2010 season.

Last season, Bolt easily clocked 46.35 seconds over the distance in this development meet.
