Usain Bolt Claims Ninth Career Gold Medal as Jamaica Wins 4×100 Relay in Rio Olympics 2016

Usain Bolt, 29, had won the 100m and 200m in Rio and is the only man to win all three sprint events at three Games.

Bolt ended his Olympic career by claiming an unprecedented ‘triple triple’ and his ninth gold as Jamaica won the 4x100m relay final in Rio.

He combined with Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake and Nickel Ashmeade to finish in 37.27 seconds.

Japan won a surprise silver and the USA were disqualified to hand Canada bronze and lift Britain up to fifth.
