MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Kerron Clement's run in the mixed 400 metres relay at the Nitro Series would be unlikely to make his career highlights reel but he was glad to take a modest step towards London where he will bid for an unprecedented third hurdles world title.

The Olympic 400m hurdles champion came to Melbourne as a member of Usain Bolt's 'All-stars' for the inaugural team-based event at Lakeside Stadium, a glitzy, brash and ultimately low-pressure affair for many of the athletes.
