The Jamaican quartet of Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell were just too awesome for the rest of the field in the men’s 4×100m relay final at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

“We wanted to show the world that Jamaica is a special country,” Frater said later, as the island’s medal tally increased to six gold, three silver, and one bronze. Not bad for a tiny Caribbean country of 2.7 million people.

On the 14th Day: Jamaica’s men take 4×100m gold in record 37.10 secs at the 29th Olympic Games in the 91,000 capacity Bird’s Nest Stadium, Beijing, China.

On the Day of Rest: Triple Olympic champion Usain Bolt says winning the 200m gold medal and shaving 0.02 seconds off Michael Johnson’s world record means the most to him as it is his favourite event.
