“I am always a bit nervous before my first race but I got through it OK and that’s good,” Bolt said. “I’m always wondering if I’m still fast, even if I’m doing well in training, so it is always good to come out here and run.” Bolt’s relay teammates were reigning world 100-meter champion Yohan Blake, Mario Forsythe and Kimmari Roach.
