<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The Jamaican superstar anchored Jamaica to victory in the 4x100 relay Saturday night in a world-record 36.84 at Olympic Stadium to capture his third gold medal of the London Games.

He's unbeaten as an Olympian, winning the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay at back-to-back Games.

STORY: U.S. women smash 4x100 relay record
Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake— the silver medalist at 100 and 200 — and Bolt.

The U.S. lineup of Trell Kimmons, Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey finished second at 37.04, tying the old world record.

Bailey had a slight advantage when he took the stick from Gay, but Bolt, being Bolt, blew past him and into bedlam.

There was a delay of a couple of minutes before the official results were posted because of a challenge. Canada, which initially came across in third place, was disqualified, elevating Trinidad to the bronze medal.

Bolt has been talking all week about becoming a legend.

The head of the IAAF, Lamine Diack, agrees, saying Bolt &quot;entered the legendary&quot; after retaining his Olympic titles in the 100 and 200.

The games' head organizer, Sebastian Coe, called Bolt &quot;a powerful influence.&quot;

Coe also has no problem with Bolt's showmanship and says, &quot;It's great that our sport captures those great moments.&quot;</div></div>

Re: Jamaica Olympics Central

Seeing the award ceremony no. Yohan singing his heart out. The 2 in front look frightened.

Jamaica 4 gold, 4 silver, 4 bronze. Swimmer in 4th place for 2 competitions...great effort.

Is there anything else for us to win or are our competitions finished?

<span style="font-style: italic">seet deh strategy backfire</span>

The USA brought in Tyson Gay and Bailey to the quartet who had broken the USA's 20-year-old national record in the heats. &quot;We're going to figure out a way to go out there and compete with them,&quot; Justin Gatlin had said. &quot;We're not scared of them.&quot;

<span style="font-weight: bold">Their plan was obvious. They put their two quickest men, Gatlin and Gay, on the middle legs. They wanted to get ahead of Jamaica before the baton got to Bolt. And they did, because Gatlin was matched up against Jamaica's slowest runner, Frater. Then they were hoping to ruffle Bolt by making him run alongside Bailey, who is only an inch shorter and a good deal more bulky than the champ.</span>

France had the same thought, front-loading the line-up with Jimmy Vicaut and Christophe Lemaitre on the first two legs. They were beaten, too, losing the battle for bronze to Trinidad &amp; Tobago. Great Britain's time from the heats, incidentally, would have beaten both those two teams.

That, though, was all happening way back in the wake of Bolt and Bailey. This is an event that the USA liked to think they had a freehold on. They had won it at 15 of the previous 21 Olympics they have competed at it in. This was their third defeat in a row, and you wonder whether they are going to get back on top of the podium any time soon.

So the fact that they were missing Powell, because of the groin strain he suffered in the 100m final last Saturday, was hardly likely to slow them down much. Brilliantly, <span style="font-weight: bold">after Jamaica and the USA, the third-fastest relay team in history are not Great Britain, Russia, France, or Trinidad &amp; Tobago but the <span style="text-decoration: underline">Racers Track Club</span></span>. That one little group from Kingston put out a quartet in 2009 that ran faster than every other country on the planet.
