Bolt "proud" of Jamaican team

Usain Bolt has spoken of his pride of the Jamaican team that he anchored to victory during the 4x100m men's relay at the World Athletics Championships.

Bolt led home the squad, which also featured Nesta Carter, Michael Frater and 100m champion Yohan Blake, to a new world record 37.04 seconds in Daegu earlier today.

"For me it was just to go out there fast," Bolt said after the race. "We did just that and I am proud of my team."

"I am happy with myself. I enjoyed being the anchor. I had a little problem with my Achilles. I can't run the bend so it was decided I would run the anchor and Yohan Blake ran a great bend."

Bolt also won 200m gold in South Korea.
