LONDON - Usain Bolt anchored Jamaica's 4x100-meter relay team to a new world record on Saturday night, giving him three gold medals at the London Games and furthercementing his status as the greatest sprinter in history.
Bolt had already defended his Olympic titles inthe 100 meters and the 200 meters. He even did a few pushups after the 200 on Thursdayfor show. For his encore on Saturday night, exactly 24 hours before the closing ceremonyfor the London Games, he gave the Olympic Stadium crowd one more spectacle.
The quartet of Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake and Bolt finished in 36.84 seconds, breaking the record of 37.04 - set by Jamaica last year. The United States team of Trell Kimmons, Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan Bailey tied the previous mark of 37.04 and won silver. After Canada was disqualified,Trinidad moved up to third.
"I'm going to the city tonight to celebrate," Bolt said after claiming his sixth gold medal intwo Olympics and his first world record of these Games.
After taking the baton from Blake, Bolt blazed past the U.S. anchor, Ryan Bailey. As he neared the finish line, the outcome was no longer in doubt. All that was left was his celebration. Would he put a finger to his lips, as if to silence his doubters, as he had after winning the 200 meters? Or might he send an invisible arrow skyward?
Before the race, Bolt had done his archer routine and flexed his muscles. Maybe he wasjust trying to stay warm. He came onto the track wearing a stocking cap to ward off a cool wind.
But this time, Bolt's post-race celebration wassubdued by his standards. He saluted the crowd and allowed himself to be swallowed up by a few supporters.
The Americans figured to give the Jamaicans all they could handle. In their semifinal on Friday night, the American quartet of Jeffery Demps, Darvis Patton, Kimmons and Gatlin clocked a 37.40, the fourth-fastest time in history

The power of Bolt is evident not only in the ground he covers with every elongated stride but in the attention he commands with every step. And not just from track fansbut from fellow Olympians like Brenda Villa, a gold-medal winning water polo player from the United States, who said, "I think it'spretty amazing when you get people from all over the world wanting to root for one person."
With no host team in the 4x100-meter relay final, the partisan fans at Olympic Stadium were free to cheer Bolt as if he were a Brit, and they deafeningly did, affording him the same roar as their own Mo Farah, who on Saturday night added the 5,000 to his 10,000 title earlier.
Now Bolt's fans must wonder what is next. Will he return to this stage four years from now in Rio?
"I've thought about it," he said after Saturday's race. "I think it's going to be very hard. Yohan is coming through and I'm surea lot of the other young guys are coming up,so I will see what happens in four years."
In the other relay final on Saturday night, theUnited States pulled away for gold in the women's 4x400.
The last time the United States lost an Olympic women's 4x400-meter relay final, in1992, Francena McCorory was 3-years-old. On Saturday night, McCorory ran the third leg for the American squad that continued its dominance in the event.
The quartet of DeeDee Trotter, Allyson Felix, McCorory and Sanya Richards-Ross was timed in 3 minutes 16.87 seconds, well ahead of the silver medalists from Russia (3:20.23). Jamaica took third in 3:20.95.

With an opening leg of 49.57, Trotter handed Felix a lead of several meters, which she expanded with a split of 48.85. McCorory ran a 48.85 split and Richards-Ross came home in 49.07. The previous night, the 4x100 relay, which featured Felix, broke a world record that had stood for 27 years. For a while, it appeared that another bolt might strike out. But in the end, the 24-year-old world record of 3:15.17, set by the Soviet Union, was safe.
For Felix, 26, the relay offered a sense of whatmight have been. Her best time in the 400 meters, a 49.70, would have tied for the silvermedal here but she bypassed the event here in favor of the 100 meters.

polokor60: Usain Bolt rips Carl Lewis: 'I have no respect for him' By Charles Robinson Yahoo! Sports LONDON – No respect … that’s what Usain Bolt has for Carl Lewis. The reigning 100- and 200-meter Olympic gold medalist blasted Lewis in his press conference
Thursday, ripping the former U.S. champion for remarks Lewis has made about the Jamaican team and doping in track. "I'm going to say something controversial. Carl
Lewis – I have no respect for him," Bolt said. "The
things he says about the track athletes are very
downgrading. I think he's just looking for
attention, because nobody really talks about him.
I've lost all respect for him. All respect."

dat shud be okay. . .nOw,what d azz-lickin dickheaded p*ssyfaced american cu.nt doesnt know is that,u can d0pe all you want u can swallow 1000g of crack daily,purchase all d cocaine in d world. . .but WITHOUT TALENT,YOU ARE NOTHING!!

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]what are you gaining by dragging bolt to the mud? would such nonsensical article make it to the tabloid should the other American won ? like I said earlier, just count your losses and move on. The whole world knows that bolts is the fastest man and until this record is shattered, there is nothing you haters can do about it. deal with it!

secondly about the Manchester united stuff, here you have it.




http://m.mirror.co.uk/article?id=1230309/[/quote]abi nOw. . Infact i dont think d record 'll be shattered in a vERY VERY lOOooong time

yomz1e: I bet this article was written by an American, I think its despicable that someone will come and tarnish such a great athlete> As soon as American'ts start loosing in a particular sport they have often dominated, they start looking for cobwebs! Usain is not a steriod user period!if he was he wont be doing all that swagger like he does, look at other athletes who have been using this so call steroids, after any event you don't hear about them, i bet carl lewis would have failed the drug test if it was that stringent in the past. The fact new steroids are been developed at a rapid pace to go undetected so is medical tests for these band substance. He was asked what does he think is his secrete and he said its the YAM and that says it all, eat well and leave a good lifesytle and you will do well. So who ever wrote this article should introduce the same chemist to the yanks. he is a natural winner and likeable guy. Also bear in mind that even if you using steroid and you ain't talented, then you screwed

EXACTLY!! Thats d tin even if ur on all d steroids in d world and u aint talented its pretty much useless

Olisa74: For starters, I didn't write the article, I just quoted it. If Bolt is really superman as you and many believe, then why does he have a chemist as a coach?
Your dog will not live long enough to be a witness when the poop hits the fan, but hopefully you and I will.
And no Sir Alex is not willing to sign him because he knows it is all just a show being witnessed by a vulnerable public.

sir alex hasnt said anything about the issue. . .they are still working on a trial

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]Are you a hater? Give it up bro!

By the way, what stops the other athletes from using this seemingly undetectable means of enhancement? or is this formula available to bolt alone? stop hating super achievers, learn to cheer them.[/quote]thank you . .even if he is on steroids,as long as he falls in d legal limits,he is clean. . .or did he also bribe d olympics to set it at 4:1. . .answer,no!! And besides d steroids tin d guy is wonderful himself,was johnson not on drugs?? Did he have d time dat bolt has. . .BOLT is gr8 wehther u like it or not. . .and till he proven guilty he's clean,InfaCt hez mAh hero!!

mkmyers45: His lucky he didn't die...
