Team USA stuns Usain Bolt and Jamaica in 4x100 at 2015 World Relays | NBC Sports

for the usa [Applause] mike rogers justin gatlin tyson gate and ryan bailey will be on the anchor leg in the usa just edged out jamaica in the pen relays recently but jamaica will say that they've got a full strength squad here in this final nesta carter kamar bailey cole nickel ash mead and usain bolt three times the world record has been broken since 2008 in the men's four by one being called the one lap relay here and jamaica have broken it each time so there's the lineup then germany saint kitts and nevis francine three jamaica in four usa five trinidad and tobago six japan seven and brazil in lane eight that's a great race isn't it just what the crowd wanted jamaicans have got the advantage they're on the inside of the united states united states will not see them that's the thing they know that they'll be running scared of this very very powerful jamaican team just inside in lane four carter against rogers it really is a clash of giants [Applause] they're away cleanly there's staccato looks good roger's also running well there's not much to choose between them in fact i think rogers has got a slight lead on the jamaicans going into this changeover justin gatlin for the americans for the jamaicans it's bailey cole commonwealth champion and it's the usm trinidad going well as well it was a great leg from gatlin and now united states are ahead with tyson gay trying to come back for jamaica it's ashley but the united states are in front can ball now respond bailey with a massive lead lucent running hard down the street trying to reel him in he's closing with every stride but bailey looks like a big enough advantage usa winning jamaica second japan third 37.39 the time new championship record and the usa celebrations begin because tyson gay ran a brilliant bend on that third leg nika lashmede gave the ball to the gave the band to the big man and he had a considerable disadvantage reach to make up but he couldn't do it ryan bailey consolidated the lead bolt unable to make a significant impression him in ever so slightly but wasn't able to close it but really perhaps the damage was done from a jamaican point of view on that second leg with justin gatlin went streets ahead of kamala bailey cole it was a great leg from justin gatlin he put maybe two or three meters on his jamaican opponent down that back straight into the wind remember and the strength there of gatlin really told and from there on the jamaicans were really fighting against it he ran a great great back straight and despite the best efforts of this man the legendary usain bolt who says that he is in shape he couldn't diminish or dent the advantage that the usa had built up and get his team back into contention for the gold medal and we've concentrated quite rightly on the top two teams were a brilliant run by the japanese as well their second from the left here they come through to take third place but just look at this well both must have thought even i can't do this one against a world class sprinter and he could he didn't make a great deal of headway didn't it it was really good i think he made any headway at all to be absolutely honest and we mentioned the splits that they ran in london 2012 8.8 for bolton 8.9 for bayley so with that flying start as we mentioned he is a serious competitor to be reckoned with but unable to make an impression well he is but the thing is he hasn't done much since london 2012 and the interesting thing he really is back in that sort of shape now well the only conservation of jamaicans may have is that they still got blake to come in maybe at the last resort for the world championship that's a big difference that is a big difference the united states are going to take some stopping though they always they're always good early season aren't they because they have the the relay system but you know i mean that's a significant and really meaningful defeat i think jamaica now have got to try and turn that around
