Usain Bolt helps Jamaica win new Games record in 4x100m relay

Sprint superstar Usain Bolt has won his first Commonwealth medal anchoring the Jamaican team to victory in the men's 4x100m relay.

In a fitting end to the track and field programme at Hampden Park, Jason Livermore, 100m gold medallist Kemar Bailey-Cole and bronze medallist Nickel Ashmeade all safely negotiated their legs before the baton was passed on to the towering figure of Bolt.

The 27-year-old, making his Commonwealth Games debut, made no mistake with his anchor run in light drizzle on a soaked track, charging through the line in a Games record of 37.58 seconds.
