Usain Bolt pleased with winning "missing" Commonwealth medal

By , Reporter
Jamaica sprinter Usain Bolt describes his happiness at winning Commonwealth gold, "the only medal missing" from the illustrious athlete's collection.

Usain Bolt has described how pleased he is at winning gold at the Commonwealth Games, claiming that it was "the only medal missing" from his vast resume.

The 27-year-old sprinter helped his Jamaica team take first prize in the men's 4x100m relay by crossing the finish line five metres in front of England's Danny Talbot.

Bolt told BBC Sport: "It means a lot. Commonwealth gold is the only medal missing from my collection.

"I'm happy to be here and sorry I didn't manage to run the individual events because the energy out here is wonderful.

"I've just got to work a little bit harder, put more work in and don't go out as much as I used to. Just change it up a little bit in my life and everything will be OK."

Trinidad & Tobago clinched the final spot on the podium by racing over the finish line in third place.
