Sports floor manufacturer BSW was chosen to replace the previous grass track on the training grounds used by Usain Bolt in Jamaica.
The new track at the campus of the University of the West Indies gives Bolt and his team colleagues an IAAF-certified class II competition track that can also hold athletics meetings.
The track's colour references the blue Reguopol tartan track in Berlin's Olympic Stadium, where Bolt enjoyed great success during the World Championships.
