The celebrations continued on the final night as many athletes were doing victory laps, as many medal ceremonies took place and anthems were played. Russian, USA, and Kenya were probably played the most. There were still several finals still taking place thru all the excitement.
The womens hammer throw final was the last field event while the mens triple jump finals were taking place
. Also there was the womens 4x100m relay heats and finals.

It was a good night for Russia. They won gold in the Womens Hammer Throw and Distance Running. A cheering russian family with hats and flags sat a few rows ahead of us. The russian anthem was probably played the most that evening.

After a long final heat, USA was victorious in the Mens Triple Jump. UK also won one of their few medals in the Mens 1500m and we all stood for God Save the Queen.

However, the main highlight was the evenings final race, the mens 4x100m relay. I thought Usain Bolt was done having won the Mens 200m race on Saturday night. I wasnt sure if he was going to be part of the relay team or not? To wild cheers from the crowd it turned out he was, even though he wasnt in the qualifying round. Seems they saved the best till last.
The Jamaicans risk in holding Usain back till the final round paid off. Not only did they win the Mens 4x100m they also set a new World Record. Usain was the final runner easily pulled ahead of the other runners as he cruised thru the finish line.
This was Usains night to celebrate. Already on a high from last nights Mens 200m win, the crowds and media were in a frenzy with yet another win. Usain was in partying mood and gave us another performance of his now famous victory dance.

This was quite an exciting finale to the final event and we waited now as they cleared the area for the closing ceremonies, which was sure to be another grand show.
