The quartet of Bolt, Nesta Carter, Michael Frater and Asafa Powell roared around the Bird's Nest Stadium to break the mark of 37.40secs achieved by the United States 15 years ago in Stuttgart.

Bolt, the individual 100m and 200m gold medallist, was instrumental in the victory after running a sizzling third leg as the team finished well clear of Trinidad and Tobago and Japan.

"You can't explain the feeling. It's a great feeling, it's wonderful and you can't really explain the feeling after the greatest Olympics ever, so I'm happy," insisted Bolt.

Bolt is adamant he will not change his demeanour after criticism from president of the IOC Jacques Rogge.

"It's a great thing and people love this and it really doesn't matter what people think or comment because I know it pleases the fans," added Bolt.

"The fans love it when I do it, I do it for myself, the country and the fans.

"I'm showing them my personality."
