The Sydney Olympic Park Athletic Centre will host the world's fastest man Usain Bolt at what's being hailed as an innovative meet designed to "entertain and inspire" on September 15, 2010.
 
Bolt, the world champion in the 100m, 200m and 4 x 100m events, will be guest of honour at the inaugural Competitive Edge All Star event, which has been described by meet director Hayden Knowles as the sport's equivalent of the Twenty20 cricket phenomenon.
 
National Rugby League stars Jarryd Hayne and Greg Inglis will headline the Gatorade Bolt to find Fastest Man in Footy sprint race: Canterbury's Jamal Idris, who represented Australia at the World Junior Athletic Championships three years ago, will take on world discus champion Dani Samuels while former international rugby league star Mark Geyer will match muscle with national shot put champion Scott Martin.
 
Samuels will also compete in a unique three-way shoot-out against America's Olympic Champion Stephanie Trafton Brown and former New Zealand world champion Beatrice Faumina.
 
World indoor long jump champion Fabrice Lapierre will attempt to break the national record "Jumping" Jai Taurima set 10 years ago when he won a silver medal during the Sydney Olympics.
 
Sydney hurdler Hayley Butler will go head-to-head with her Kiwi arch rival Andrea Miller in a Trans Tasman challenge aimed to decide the queen of Australasia's 100m hurdles ahead of the New Delhi Commonwealth Games.
 
Reigning Commonwealth Games Champion John Steffensen will compete in an interactive 400m race against Aussie legend Darren Clark in a 21st century version of the battle of the clock. Steffensen will race vision of Clark taken when he was at his peak.
 
The night will also feature dancers, rock bands and DJs as well as numerous other activities that are aimed to help draw a new crowd to the ancient disciplines of athletics.

Amanda Coombes (W40), just returned from her first World Indoor Champs. "I always look forward to going to a major meet. You get to test the hours of training, recovery and in some cases rehab.
Then there is the challenge of being able to produce your best on the day(s) that count, the opportunity to meet new friends, experience a new culture and totally immerse yourself in the world of athletics."
