It was a great display of sprinting tonight from Usain Bolt and Jamaica as the small Caribbean nation´s men´s and women´s teams smashed the Commonwealth games 4x100m relay records.
The last two events in the the spectacular final day of the track and field competition were women´s and men´s 4x100m finals.
In the women´s race Jamaican team stacked with world class stars dominated the race from the gun as Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce anchored to victory in a new commonwealth games record of 41.82 seconds.
