Anchor Chris Brown ran a tremendous final leg to propel The Bahamas into Silver for the 4x400m relay on the final day of Track&Field at the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

The team consisting of Andretti Bain, Micheal Mathieu, Andrae Williams and Christopher Brown took silver in 2:58.03 on Saturday August 23,2008, edging bronze medalist Russia in 2:58.06. Neither team ever threatened the Americans who captured Gold in an Olympic record time of 2:55.39.

It was the second medal for the Bahamas and the 15th for the English Caribbean; matching the best ever medal count for the region, previously recorded in 2000. Jamaica who set several world records in the sprints, finished with 6 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze. Trinidad earned 2 silver and The Bahamas garnered 1 bronze with Leevan Sands in the Triple Jump to go along with the silver in this event.
