World 100 and 200 metres record holder Usain Bolt and his Racers Track Club teammates will definitely have a synthetic track to prepare for international meets on the grounds of the University of West Indies (UWI), Mona Campus.

Speaking with the Observer yesterday in an exclusive interview from Kenya, Bolt's agent Ricky Simms confirmed that a contract has been signed with Germany-based Athletic Track specialist company Regupol to construct the track.

"Yes, I have arranged a contract with Regupol to have the track constructed," said Simms from the Nairobi Airport.

The British-based agent and his Jamaican client, triple Olympic and world championships gold medallist Bolt, were travelling back to Europe after some sponsorship engagements.
