Usain Bolt is the headline act as Nitro Athletics - a new high-energy team event - makes its global debut in Melbourne.

This hour-long highlights programme shows the best of the action as six international teams made up of 24 athletes battle it out in traditional events such as the 100m, 200m and pole vault - and they are also supported by new events including an elimination mile, a mixed hurdles relay, a mixed long jump and target javelin.

Jamaican superstar Bolt leads his 'Bolt All Stars' team against England, captained by Olympic and world 400m champion Christine Ohuruogu, China, Japan, New Zealand and Australia. Points are awarded for each of the 12 events, which also attempt to pioneer new technology, such as microphones worn by the athletes, countdown clocks and fluorescent blocks and batons.

This is the first of three days of the inaugural Nitro Athletics Melbourne meeting and hopes are high it will have a strong impact, with Lord Sebastian Coe, the head of World Athletics, saying this event will 'revolutionise' the sport.
