Sprinting great Usain Bolt ran on the track at Tokyo's newly-completed National Stadium during an event to celebrate the opening of the venue set to be the centrepiece of next year's Olympics.
Bolt, the eight-time Olympic gold medallist, jogged around the track as part of a relay race in front of an audience of approximately 60,000 people, who were the first members of the public to watch an event in the National Stadium.

Bolt says it was a great experience being in Japan and running in front of so many people.
He adds he was happy and excited because he will not be getting to compete at the Olympics so the fact that he got to run on the track was an experience in itself.
