Usain Bolt Anchors 4x100 Relay New World Record

Jamaica's Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake led their team to gold and a new world record in the men's 4x100-meter relay final Saturday night, bringing a thrilling end to competition at the London Olympic Stadium.

The four-man Jamaican team finished in 36.84, with Bolt drawing cheers as he ran the electrifying last leg.

"For me, it's just a wonderful feeling to end on a high note," he told the BBC with a big smile. "I knew it was possible, I wish we could have gone faster, but I guess it leaves room for improvement."

It was the third gold medal of the London Games for Bolt, who already made history at these Olympics by winning back-to-back 100-meter and 200-meter titles.

The U.S. team, which included Justin Gatlin and Tyson Gay, came in second with 37.04, matching the previous world record and setting a new national record.
