Bolt misses Mariners training for Champagne and anti-gravity flight

Usain Bolt has swapped Mariners training for drinking champagne in zero gravity with the aspiring A-League player taking part in a bizarre media event in France.

Sipping champagne upside down and sprinting through thin air was all in a days work for Bolt as he took an anti-gravity flight over France to promote Champagne brand Mumm.

The Olympic great was all smiles as he experienced weightlessness in a plane which simulates zero-gravity conditions, all to showcase Mumm's new bottle which will allow Astronauts to drink Champagne in space.

Bolt said he felt like a “kid in a candy store” after spending about four minutes floating and joking around in near-weightless conditions.

Bolt has taken eight days away from his Mariners' trial to partake in the event which was organised before the start of his arrival at the A-League club.

He is expected back in Australia on Sunday to resume his attempt at landing a professional football contract with the Gosford based club.

The Jamaican made his debut in Mariners colours last month playing 20 minutes in a trial match against a Central Coast select side.
