Usain Bolt and Ingemar Stenmark met at Stockholm Stadium during the Diamond League gala.

Prior to Sunday's competitions, the athletics legend and the alpine legend were interviewed on the infield.

The 38-year-old Jamaican was asked if he had skied downhill.

No, but he will give me lessons. I look forward to it, said Bolt and referred to Stenmark.

69-year-old Stenmark, who last year competed in the veteran World Championship in pole vault in Gothenburg, downplayed his athletics career.

It's no effort I can say. Some go to the gym, I do pole vault, said the Swede.
