Rudisha fancies Bolt in relay

Doha - David Rudisha, the 800m world champion and Olympic favorite, fancies his chances if he could meet Usain Bolt in the right race.

At a press conference for the season-opening Diamond League meet in Doha on Friday, Rudisha considered the possibility of facing Bolt in a showdown he'd love to prepare for but can't see happening.

The Kenyan picked the 4x400m relay for the dream clash with Bolt, in that they would meet in a middle ground between their best races.

He says it would be "interesting to see two world record-holders" competing against one another.
