A Bolt of Speed

Bolt Anchors Jamaican 4x100 to Record Win at Penn Relays - NYTimes.com: "A record crowd of 54,310, most of them cloaked in the Jamaican national colors, turned out to watch Usain Bolt, the men’s world-record holder in the 100 and 200 meters. He did not disappoint them. In the “USA vs. the World” program, Bolt anchored his 4x100 relay team to a Penn Relays record of 37.90.

Heading into the final leg, Bolt’s Jamaican Gold team was nearly even with both American relay teams. Bolt received a clean handoff from Marvin Anderson and almost effortlessly sprinted away from the American Ivory Williams to win by a clear margin. His split time was an astonishing 8.79 seconds."
