BEIJING, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Usain Bolt anchored Jamaica to the world 4x100m relay gold medal on Saturday, his third gold in Beijing and 11th in the world championships.

Bolt ran the final leg at a packed Bird's Nest National Stadium, leading the team to the winning time of 37.36 seconds after Nesta Carter, Asafa Powell and Nickel Ashmeade had perfect baton exchanges.

China claimed a historic silver medal in 38.01 seconds and Canada won bronze in 38.13.

The US foursome of Trayvon Bromell, Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Mike Rodgers finished second behind Jamaica, but they were stripped of their place because the last exchange was out of the zone.
