Special Report:   2008 Beijing Olympic Games

Usain Bolt's excellent adventure in Beijing takes another step today when the Jamaican sprinter leads his 4x100m relay team at the Bird's Nest.

At stake is a third gold medal for Bolt, who made Olympic history by becoming the first sprinter since Carl Lewis in 1984 to win both the 100m and 200m sprints at one Games. And, even more incredibly, the first to do it while setting world records in both.

"I've written history, pretty much," Bolt said after his win in the 200.

Today, he'll get a chance to do it again.
