Ja storms in 4×100 final with season’s best time
KINGSTON, Jamaica — World record-holder Jamaica clocked an ominous 37.39 without Usain Bolt storming their way into the final of the men’s 4x100m relay final tomorrow.
Second across the line was the Great Britain team, which was disqualified.
The Jamaica team of Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake and Kemar Bailey-Cole ran a season’s best to secure their win.
Netherland was third in 38.29
The team will bring on Bolt who successfully defended both his 100m and 200m titles from Beijing four years ago.
