The world’s greatest athlete, Usain Bolt, will compete and captain the ‘Bolt All-Stars’ in a new sports entertainment series set to revolutionise global track and field.

A high energy, team-based competition, Nitro Athletics will see the stars of Australian and international athletics compete across three nights of blockbuster entertainment at Melbourne’s Lakeside Stadium in February 2017.

Nitro Athletics Melbourne will feature six teams of 24 athletes (12 women and 12 men).  Teams will come from Australia and internationally and will be announced in the coming weeks.

Nitro Athletics 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 disciplines across sprints, distance, field and para-athletics events. Mixed events and relays will also feature in the Nitro program as team’s battle for points and the Nitro Athletics Melbourne crown.

Nitro Athletics Melbourne is supported by the Victorian Government, will be broadcast live on the Seven Network and will be staged on Saturday 4 February and Thursday 9 February, with a final on Saturday 11 February. 

Night one and the final of Nitro Athletics Melbourne will feature the same program with the Thursday night program offering a selection of alternative events.
