Sydney: Sprint champion Maurice Greene collected his second gold of the Sydney Olympics on Saturday when the United States won the men's 4x100 relay.

Greene, who won the 100 metres title a week ago, anchored the American quartet to a time of 37.61, the fastest time this year, beating Brazil (37.90) and Cuba (38.04).

It was the 15th time that the United States have won the event. They have only been beaten across the finish line once - by Canada in Atlanta four years ago.

Their two other defeats came through disqualifications.
