Bolt Strikes For Third Gold Medal in 400M Relay

August 22, 2008 by  

Olympics Day 14 - Athletics

Is this the best team performance ever, for a nation of 1.8 million?

-Beijing-The good times kept rolling on Friday for Usain Bolt and the Jamaican national team. Bolt ran a lightening fast third leg that helped to crush the World Record previously held by the United States. The U.S. had poor hand offs and did not make the final.

The Jamaica squad was made up of Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Bolt and Asafa Powell. Jamaica recorded 37.10, which improved on the record of 37.40 set by the U.S. relay team at the 1992 Olympics.
