- It was a wonderful experience to be part of this and to run for so many people. I am happy because I will compete at the Olympics, 33-year-old Bolt tells AFP.

The most qualified athlete in history left after the London 2017 World Cup and will not participate in the Tokyo Olympics inaugurated in seven months.

He jogged his distance in a full-length Jamaican suit to the sound of taiko drums.

Although Bolt is popular with fans, he was not the main point of interest, but it was devoted to J-pop band Arashi and Japanese national team rugby captain Michael Leitch.
