Jamaica left no question as to which country rules the sprinting world, as it won both the men’s and women’s 4×100-metre relays at the world track and field championships in Berlin on Saturday.

The Jamaican men’s team, made up of two of the world’s fastest humans in Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell, along with Steve Mullings and Michael Frater, won gold in a time of 37.31 seconds.

However, they failed to set a world record.

“It is a little bit my fault,” an apologetic Bolt said, complaining he was just too tired after nine races in eight days.

“I didn’t run the best third leg. I was happy to get around the track and give the baton to Asafa,” he said. “I am dying right now.”

Since the Beijing Olympics, Bolt had won five major gold medals with a world record each time. The world record streak ended in the 400 relay after he set two individual marks in Berlin.

“The main thing that counted was getting the gold,” he said.

Compounding Bolt’s fatigue was Asafa Powell’s groin injury, which made the anchor runner uncertain until one hour before the start. Next >>
