{{{ BREAKING WORLD RECORDS }}} Usain Bolt and Jamaica World Record in Men's 4x100m Relay - 37.10

37.10 Jamaica (Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell) Beijing 22.08.2008 For one of the few times in Olympic history, the United States was not favored in the short relay, as Jamaica had all the cards. [Usain Bolt] had already won the 100 and 200 in world record times, and his teammate, [Asafa Powell], was the 100 world-record holder coming into 2008. Aided by [Nesta Carter] and [Michael Frater], it was thought that only poor baton passing could get the US ahead of the Caribbean powerhouse. But the US team never even got the chance. In the first heat of round one, [Darvis Patton] ran the third leg for the US and was leading as he went to hand-off to [Tyson Gay]. But the two dropped the baton and the US was out of the heat and the final. This left the way open for Jamaica to run virtually uncontested, though it is highly unlikely the US could have beaten Jamaica in the final, even at their absolute best. Jamaica dominated the final, shattering the previous world record of 37.40, to record 37.10. Bolt ran the third leg on the curve, clocking an estimated 9.0 around the turn, and Asafa Powell’s anchor was timed by tafnuts in 8.7. This gave Bolt his third sprint gold medal of the Beijing Olympics, all in world record time, a feat which had never been performed at the Olympics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUfC7GzZqm8 - {{{ BREAKING WORLD RECORDS }}} USA Breaking World Record in Men's 4x100m Relay (part 1 - 38.19) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0qINt2mrwc - {{{ BREAKING WORLD RECORDS }}} USA Breaking World Record in Men's 4x100m Relay (part 2 - 38.03) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUAKPskJ1O0 - {{{ BREAKING WORLD RECORDS }}} USA Breaking World Record in Men's 4x100m Relay (part 3 - 37.83) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i5TbyG689Q - {{{ BREAKING WORLD RECORDS }}} France Breaking World Record in Men's 4x100m Relay - 37.79 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H-6CvDvJSA - {{{ BREAKING WORLD RECORDS }}} Carl Lewis and USA Breaking World Record in Men's 4x100m Relay (part 4 - 37.67) Nesta Carter Michael Frater Usain Bolt Asafa Powell Usain Bolt 2008 Usain Bolt World Record Usain Bolt World Record 2008
