SYDNEY (AP) — Usain Bolt has arrived in Sydney on a promotional visit on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2000 Olympics.

The world record holder in both the 100- and 200-meters will participate in a coaching clinic with the fastest football players in Australia on Wednesday.

He hopes to run in a relay in an exhibition event at Sydney's Olympic Park, but is not expected

to be part of the official Sydney 2000 anniversary celebrations.

Bolt told reporters Tuesday that "I don't think I will be doing anything serious."

Bolt cut his competitive season short due to back injuries and has spent recent weeks promoting his book. He expects to resume training in Jamaica on Oct. 4 to build up for next year's world championships at Daegu, South Korea.
