Second fastest time in history - USA in the women's 4 X 1.
Interesting - first time since 1928 that a team on the inside lane won.

Congrats USA I want the male 4 X 1

It'll be hard to beat the Jamaicans. He is nearly a one man gang out there.
And that women's race was incredible.

He'll retire after the World Championships in England next year. He turns 30 on Sunday.

I so want him to win this.
