Usain Bolt completed a unique 'triple triple' when he anchored Jamaica to victory in the men's 4x100m relay in Rio.
Bolt took over on the last leg with a narrow deficit to Japan but soon overcame it and won by an impressive margin after some fine support from Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake and Nickel Ashmeade.
"The pressure is real, but I look at it as an accomplishment.," Bolt said "I enjoy pressure and I live for these moments. For me, it's beautiful.
"I won't celebrate now. I'm just going to go home and stay up late tonight, just talking and having fun."
The sprint great has now won gold medals in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay at the last three Olympic Games, starting off in Beijing eight years ago and repeating the victories at London 2012.
Victory now brings down the curtain on Bolt's Olympic career as he has already stated he will retire from the sport at the end of the World Championships in London next summer.
