Usain Bolt has helped Jamaica to win gold in the men's 4x100m relay at the Commonwealth Games. The world's fastest man ended his controversial stay in Glasgow by powering down the home straight to bring his team home in 37.58 seconds, a Games record.
England took silver while Trinidad and Tobago came in third for the bronze.
In characteristic style Bolt danced, posed for selfies and high-fived fans as he took in his lap of honour after the race was over.
The win marks the first Commonwealth gold for Bolt, despite winning fifteen other gold medals in his career at the Beijing and London Olympics, and other world championships.
In another amusing moment he also threw his baton to a marshal just after he crossed the finish line, which the man managed to catch.
Even before the event began, Bolt entertained the crowd by dancing to 500 Miles (directly above) by The Proclaimers before the race, to whoops and cheers from onlookers.
Bolt's win will put to bed comments published in The Times this week in which he allegedly called the Glasgow games 'bulls***' saying that London 2012 was 'better'.
