The 31-year-old retired sprint great took part in team exercises under coach Peter Stoeger, exchanging passes with Mario Goetze and others in the relaxed session.

"It was good," Bolt said. "I had fun with the guys. They were very welcoming."
Dortmund said 1,409 spectators came to see the eight-time Olympic champion in action. News agency DPA said there were 137 accredited journalists.
"Usain is an incredibly laid back guy, totally down to earth. I think it was fun for him," Stoeger said. "And he got a stage that he had dreamed about."
The German club broadcast the session live with commentary in English. Bolt later signed autographs for fans as photographers jostled for pictures. more
