Jamaica Men Smashes 4x100 World Record.

The Jamaican track team supplied the good news for all Jamaicans this evening by winning the Gold medal in the men 4x100m final with a new world record. The triumph came from the incredible Usaine Bolt anchoring a world record effort with a smoking-hot time of 36.84 seconds. It was the same Jamaican quartet of Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake and Bolt that set the previous mark of 37.04 at the world championships in Daegu last year. The United States team of Trell Kimmons, individual bronze medallist Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey won silver in 37.04 to equal the old record. Canada finished third but were disqualified, leaving the athletes in tears on the track as Trinidad and Tobago were awarded the bronze.
