Sprint star Usain Bolt landed his first Commonwealth Games gold medal by anchoring Jamaica to 4x100m relay glory at Hampden Park last night.
The world’s fastest man steamed down the home straight to bring his team, that included Jason Livermore, Kemar Bailey-Cole, Nickel Ashmeade, home in 37.58 seconds, a Games record.
The 27-year-old would have had every reason to grumble about the weather after rain hammered down and puddles littered the track, but he received the baton in the lead and powered away.
It was a relief for the fans too as the relay race was the only event Bolt had entered at the Games.
England took a hugely impressive silver, their quartet of Adam Gemili, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Richard Kilty and Danny Talbot producing slick changeovers as they best Trinidad and Tobago, clocking 38.02secs.
