MELBOURNE—Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt eased into his first training session with Australia’s Central Coast Mariners on Aug. 21 and said he was ready to prove the doubters wrong by winning a professional football contract.
Monitored by a big media pack, Bolt, who turned 32 on Aug. 21, emerged at Central Coast stadium with his prospective team mates, flashing a big grin as he kicked the ball around during a light session in the sleepy seaside town of Gosford.
