There is no stopping Usain Bolt on the world scene.
The Jamaican track super star followed up his world record runs in the 100m (9.58 seconds) and 200m (19.19) at the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Berlin with a rapid third leg run as Jamaica clocked a championship record 37.31 seconds in the men's 4x100 metres final.
The time is the second fastest ever after Jamaica's world record 37.10 set in Beijing last year. The members of the winning quartet in Berlin were Steve Mullings, Michael Frater, Bolt and Asafa Powell.

In two years, Bolt has won six gold medals at the world level, four individual and two relays, the most by any Jamaican.
