A triple strike for the lightening bolt as Usain Bolt took his Moscow World Athletics Championships gold medal tally to three on Sunday.

Bolt lead the Jamaican 4X100m team as they won the gold medal in the race with the United States claiming silver and Britain taking bronze.

The 26-year-old was joined by 100m bronze medalist Nesta Carter, Kemar Bailey-Cole and Nickel Ashmeade as they won the event in 37.36sec.

With this win, Bolt jumped to the top of the all-time World Championships medals table with eight gold and two silver, edging sprint legend Carl Lewis who has eight gold, one silver and one bronze.

After the 4X100m relay win Bolt celebrated with his teammates and threw his running shoes to excited fans in the stadium.

The sprint treble is a repeat of Bolt's London Olympics performance where like he did here he claimed the 100m, 200m and 4X100m relay gold medals.

Bolt had earlier won the 100m and 200m races claiming the gold medal in both with ease.

The way he is going it will be just a matter of time before the 'world's fastest man' claims all the records in athletics.
