Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt has arrived in South Korea for the International Association of Athletics Federations World Championships.
The double world record holder was welcomed by a throng of fans as he touched down at Daegu airport.
Bolt, part of a 50-member Jamaica squad, is aiming to successfully defend both sprint titles he won in Berlin in 2009.
However, he has warned he is unlikely to go close to the world record times he holds.
The 24-year-old will also be part of the country's bid for a second successive 4 by 100 metre gold.
Bolt has stated that titles and not times are his priority this season.
