 West Indian pace legend Courtney Walsh doesn't foresee another one like him or Curtly Ambrose coming along in international cricket but neither does he believe that fast bowling is on the decline.

The Jamaican track superstar, the world record holder in the 100m and 200m and eight-time Olympic champion, is working with the Australian batsmen to improve their "explosiveness" off the mark.

The great Jamaican, who has won eight Olympic and 11 world championship gold medals, is planning to quit the track after competing in the 100m and 4x100m relay in the global event in London.

The Jamaican left the rest of a quality field in her wake to finish in a time of 10.78 seconds, almost three tenths of a second clear of American Tori Bowie with Marie-Josee Ta Lou of Ivory Coast in third.

Aubameyang, 27, is often hailed as one of the fastest footballers and the French-born Gabonese once covered the 30m in just 3.7 seconds.

For hitting sixes-after-sixes through his Twitter account, Viru has become one of the most talked about celebrity on twitter.

But after his 4x100m triumph in Rio on Friday, the Rio crowd celebrated in the knowledge that they were witnessing the departure of a legend.

The Jamaican's quest for a third successive triumph is one of the undoubted centrepieces of these Games.

Bolt is the first man to hold both the 100m and 200m world records.

Only three runners can represent Jamaica in each event at Brazil, leaving the final decision to team management in Rio to choose the final lineup.

Aussie is not surprised by Gayle's behaviour as he stated that it was "fairly expected".

He is certainly one of the modern greats, but stories of a reluctant Gayle excusing himself from the national set up will always paint an image so distraught for the sport that many will be forced to ask, what's there in playing for a national team.

Usain Bolt plans retire after the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London.
