Watch: GB men storm to 4x100m victory as Usain Bolt’s career comes to bitterly disappointing end

Great Britain's men stormed to 4x100m victory in front of a home crowd in the London Stadium on Saturday night.

Clocking a new British record time of 36:47 - the third fastest of all time - the British team beat a much-fancied American team into second place, with Japan finishing in the bronze medal position. It was a phenomenal performance from all four British runners: an explosive start from CJ Ujah  was followed by a strong second leg from Adam Gemili. Danny Talbot then ran a flawless bend on leg three before Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake managed to see off 100m silver medallist Christian Coleman to seal an historic gold. https://twitter.com/BBCSport/status/896478464651309056 Unfortunately, the Jamaican team did not finish the race. Usain Bolt, in his final ever race, pulled up with what appeared to be a hamstring injury having received the baton for the final leg. The final leg of the relay can be seen in the footage below. https://twitter.com/stas8t/status/896478164481966084
