Rogge said earlier in the Olympics that Bolt had to do yet more to be regarded as 'a legend' - sparking an angry reaction from the sprinter, who after Saturday night's 4x100m triumph demanded the IOC leader should say what more he could do. Rogge, who has previously criticised Bolt's showmanship, appeared to back-track on Sunday.
