Usain Bolt equals Carl Lewis' record of 8 golds at World Championships
18-8-2013 A triple strike for the lightening bolt as Usain Bolt took his Moscow
World Athletics Championships gold medal tally to three on Sunday 18-8-2013. Bolt lead the Jamaican 4X100m team as they won the gold medal in the race with the United States claiming silver and Britain taking bronze.
The 26-year-old was joined by 100m bronze medalist Nesta Carter, Kemar
Bailey-Cole and Nickel Ashmeade as they won the event in 37.36sec.
With this win, Bolt jumped to the top of the all-time World
Championships medals table with eight gold and two silver, edging sprint
legend Carl Lewis who has eight gold, one silver and one bronze.
After the 4X100m relay win Bolt celebrated with his teammates and threw his running shoes to excited fans in the stadium.
The sprint treble is a repeat of Bolt's London Olympics performance
where like he did here he claimed the 100m, 200m and 4X100m relay gold
medals.
Bolt had earlier won the 100m and 200m races claiming the gold medal in both with ease.
The way he is going it will be just a matter of time before the 'world's fastest man' claims all the records in athletics.
LEWIS HAS WON 8 GOLD, ONE SILVER AND ONE BRONZE. BUT USSAIN BOLT HAS WON 8 GOLD AND TWO SILVER MEDALS.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryee of Jamaica
Meanwhile Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryee of Jamaica also completed the hat trick as jamaica won women's 4x100 relay in second fastest time ever.
Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce became the first woman in world championships
history to sweep the sprint events when she anchored Jamaica to gold in
the 4x100-meter relay final Sunday. Fraser-Pryce, the 100 and 200 champion, got the baton with a big lead
already. But, with her pink hair extensions slapping the air behind her,
she kept building on it to cross in a championship record of 41.29
seconds.
IT MEANS JAMAICA HAS WON ALL SIX GOLD MEDALS OF 100 MTR , 200 METERS AND 4X100 METERS
