Bolt-Gay showdowns to highlight 14-meet Diamond League

MONTE CARLO: Jamaican triple Olympic and world champion Usain Bolt and main sprint rival Tyson Gay have praised the new Diamond League series while declining to say where they would clash next year in on the 14-meeting series.

"It's going to be awesome, so people look out for it," Bolt told a dinner meeting on Saturday to launch the series, which promises more head-to-head competition.

"It's going to be good for the fans," United States 100m record holder Gay said. "There's not going to be ducking (out of meeting your top rivals)."
