1529: "It's a great feeling. I was really excited to go out there and give Usain his third world record."
Jamaican sprinter Asafa Powell
1523: "Wow. Jamaica were 50m ahead of anyone else! If they were racing a team of cheetahs they'd have still won!"

1518: Usain Bolt performs a ropey forward roll as the Jamaican team complete their lap of honour. Just as well he's good at running, because he'd never win a medal for gymnastics. Asafa Powell is in stitches.
1514: Jamaica's new world record beats the Americans' previous mark, set in 1992, by three-tenths of a second. How about that? Usain Bolt wins three golds, breaks three world records. He actually is Superman.
1511: I agree with Steve Cram: "What more can you say?" Usain Bolt gallops round the bend on the third leg and after a safe changeover, Asafa Powell speeds to the line as Jamaica win gold in a new world record of 37.10 seconds. Bolt tears down the track after Powell and actually finishes in front of the Netherlands. Silver for Trinidad and bronze for Japan.
1511: JAMAICA WIN MEN'S 4x100m RELAY GOLD IN NEW WORLD RECORD
1510: Bryan Clay of the United States clinches gold in the decathlon ahead of Andrei Krauchnka of Belarus and Leonel Suarezthe of Cuba. Clay, who took silver in Athens in 2004, is a runaway winner in Beijing, recording the biggest winning margin - 240 points - since 1972. Britain's Daniel Awde climbs one place in the overall standings after the final event, the 1500m, to finish 21st in his first Olympics.
1508: "My five-year-old daughter Charlotte is drawing pictures of Usain Bolt while she waits for the relay. Who needs Cbeebies?"

1507: It's the men's 4x100m relay final now. Let mayhem commence...
