Olympics: Bahamas take men's 4x400 gold

London: Ramon Miller of the Bahamas chased down Angelo Taylor of the United States in the men's 4x400-meter final on Friday night to win his country's first gold medal in a relay won by America at every Olympics since 1984.

Miller lifted the Bahamas to a time of 2:56.72, .33 seconds better than the USA. While Trinidad and Tobago took third.

The South African team, anchored by double amputee "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius, fell behind well before Pistorius received the baton and finished last.

Miller lifted the Bahamas to a time of 2:56.72, .33 seconds better than the USA. While Trinidad and Tobago took third.

Taylor, a 400-meter hurdler, was thrust into the lineup after a flurry of injuries hit the Americans. Lashawn Merritt and Jeremy Wariner both pulled out before the preliminaries, where Manteo Mitchell ran the last 200 meters of the opening lap with a broken left fibula.
