Usain Bolt claimed his third gold medal and set his third world record of the Beijing Games as Jamaica stormed to victory in the men’s 4×100m relay. Bolt, who won the 100 and 200 finals in world record times, teamed up with Nesta Carter, Michael Frater and Asafa Powell to clock 37.10 seconds, slashing 0.30 off the mark set by the United States at the 1993 world championships.

Il quartetto composto da Carter, Frater, Bolt e Powell vince in 37″10 davanti a Trinidad & Tobago e Giappone. Battuto il primato degli Stati Uniti che resisteva dal 1993.
