Usain Bolt won his third gold medal at the London Olympic Games by anchoring Jamaica’s team to a sensational 36.84 seconds for a world record in the 4 X 100 metres relay on Saturday. Bolt along with team mates, Nesta Carter, Michael Frater and Yohan Blake held off the strong opposition from the American team who was second with Trinidad and Tobago third. In an interview after the race, Bolt told reporters “I came to the Olympics with one mission, to defend my titles, I did just that. Now I am happy.” Bolt now has three gold medals from London having won the individual 100 and 200 metres. The track star, over the last four years has left every major championship with a record. He still holds the record of 9.58 and 19.19 for the 100 and 200 metres respectively. Bolt has three races scheduled for the season and has committed to participating in Lausanne, Zurich and Brussels.
