The Boston Globe: "Melaine Walker powered her way to victory in the 400-meter hurdles, the final event on the track last night with the Bird's Nest still buzzing in the afterglow of her countryman Usain Bolt's dazzling world-record 200.
'Jamaica is great right now,' Walker said. 'I'm proud of every single soul.'
Walker won in an Olympic-record and personal-best 52.64 seconds, well ahead of American Sheena Tosta, who took the silver at 53.70. Britain's Tasha Danvers won the bronze at 53.84.
Walker broke the Olympic record of 52.82 set by fellow Jamaican Deon Hemmings in 1996."
