Tim Montgomery likes his women like his world records - fast.

The new 100m king is currently dating Marion Jones - the quickest female on the planet.

According to reports, they have just moved in together. You can imagine the advantages.

The ironing would literally get blitzed, a quick tidy up would mean exactly that and dinner would consist of the fastest food in town.

The pair might have the odd argument about whose turn it was to run down the shops, but at least kiss chase would be more entertaining - especially for the neighbours.

Montgomery thanks 'guardian angel'

Montgomery and Jones are the latest in a long line of sporting couples to get it on.

Anyone for tennis?

Top of the league come tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf. No prizes for guessing what their son will be when he grows up. Apart from in a silly phone advert.

Lleyton Hewitt and Kim Clijsters are also doing their bit to heal the rift between the men and women's camps, as did Chris Evert - with Jimmy Connors and John Lloyd.

But you can always rely on John McEnroe to put back the brat amongst the pigeons, just as relations look like improving.

Crystal ball

In football you have Ronaldo and Milene Domingues - the world keepy-uppie record holder and most expensive woman player.

Wonder what first attracted her to the buck-toothed multi-millionaire?

Then there's Sergio Garcia and Martina Hingis, Alan and Chelsey Mullally - and what about Florence Griffith and Al Joyner, without whom Flo-Jo would have been Flog. Not quite got the same ring has it?

And finally, let's take a look into the crystal ball to try and predict the sporting liaisons of the future.

Tiger Woods and Serena Williams:
If these two ever got together, old George Dubya might as well hand over the keys to the White House there and then.

Offspring may include a golfer with a liking for rubber, who grunts before every stroke and a tennis star who keeps hitting the ball out of court.

Hello dear, I'm home

Tim Henman and Jane Couch:
It was an all-too familiar tale at Wimbledon this summer as poor old Timmy came up short again.

What the lad needs is a bit of backbone and prize-fighter Couch could be just the woman to instill it.

Mind you, given both their track records, don't expect this one to last the distance.

David Beckham and Stephanie Cook:
He is the England football captain, a free kick specialist and an icon adored throughout the world.

She won pentathlon gold at the Sydney Olympics, is a qualified doctor and highly intelligent...

OK, so it would never work.

Peter Beardsley and Anna Kournikova:
Giving hope to men everywhere.
