Commonwealth Games - Bolt leads Jamaica to 4x100m glory as England claim silver

Usain Bolt powered clear in the home straight as Jamaica won the Commonwealth Games 4x100m relay, with England claiming silver.

Bolt picked up the baton in second place, but the fastest man of all time had no problem overhauling England's Danny Talbot to win in a Games record time of 37.58 seconds.

Jason Livermore, Kemar Bailey-Cole, who won the 100 metres on Monday, and Nickel Ashmeade ran the first three legs but all eyes were on Bolt, the 100 and 200 metres world record holder.


Trinidad and Tobago took bronze after failing to catch the English.

Olympic champion and world record holder Bolt had been in an unusual mood throughout these Games, in which he chose to only compete in the relay, despite being the greatest 100 and 200 runner of all time.

But he started the night with a dance for the fans, and completed it with his trademark arrow celebration before posing for photos with fans while holding a Scottish flag, even kissing one elderly lady to widespread amusement.
