    Jamaica's Julian Forte speaking to IAAF radio about team-mate Usain Bolt's injury: "He didn't tell us exactly what happened but from what I saw, it looked like a strain or a cramp of some sort.

    "He kept apologising to us but we told him there was no need to apologise - injuries are part of the sport."

    Danny Talbot: "2012 didn't go our way and we have been working hard since then. It's a massive team effort and we win as a team and lose as a team. We are world champions at home. We will never get this feeling again."

    Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake: "I wasn't sure if I had won or not, I gave it my all but I could see Christian Coleman out of the corner of my eye. The feeling of euphoria was from infinity. I can't register it. We smashed the British record to pieces."

    Bolt did not want to leave in a wheelchair did he. He refused to leave in that way and that's right - he should never have to finish like that.

    It's easy to say now, and hindsight is a wonderful thing, but should Usain Bolt have retired in Rio?

    An amazing and outstanding performance from that British team. They beat everyone fair and square.

    They delivered on a night when everyone was here - not necessarily to see this.

    Adam Gemili was just ridiculous down the back stretch. He opened up a gap that was always going to be hard for anyone to chase down.

    That is a near-perfect display from the British sprint quartet - CJ Ujah with phenomenal reaction time of 0.124 secs, Adam Gemili brilliant second leg after injury-wrecked season, Danny Talbot with flawless bend, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake holding off the 100m silver medallist Christian Coleman and finishing with a beautifully timed dip.

    That's how records and gold medals happen.
