Leading up to the meet, speculation had been rife over whether or not the world's fastest man would grace the track as part of the Racers Track Club relay team.
Also, meet organisers and Bolt's coach Glen Mills yesterday would not say if the superstar would make an appearance. Ryan Peralto Jnr, a member of the organising committee, told the Observer that he could neither confirm nor deny Bolt's participation.
"Usain Bolt always speaks of his support for Gibson, but based on history, I don't have anything to predict this year," he said. "Mr Mills spoke at our Howard Aris Memorial Lecture at GC Foster last night (Thursday) and then we got a request for some additional persons to run in a particular individual event... but they didn't quite want to say," Peralto added.
Meanwhile, queries to Mills revealed little. "Check the start list," was his terse response. more
