High Speed Changeover

Day 15 - August 22 - 10.09pm

 

Usain Bolt prepares to pass the baton to Asafa Powell, who will run the anchor leg of Jamaica's world-record beating 4x100m Men's Relay.

 

The Jamaicans were so fast it's amazing they were able to do the changeovers properly - I felt sorry for the second leg runner who had to pass the baton to Bolt before he accelerated rapidly into the distance. Usual medal favourites USA and Great Britain weren't in the final after completely messing up their changeovers in the heats.
