At which Commonwealth Games did Bolt win 4 x 100 m relay gold?

The story behind the answer

At which Commonwealth Games did Bolt win 4 × 100 m relay gold? He won it at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Jamaica took the men's final at Hampden Park on 2 August 2014.

Bolt ran the anchor leg for a Jamaican quartet featuring Jason Livermore, Kemar Bailey-Cole and Nickel Ashmeade. Their time of 37.58 seconds set a Commonwealth Games record, with England finishing second in 38.02. Bolt had also run in Jamaica's qualifying heat alongside Kimmari Roach, although the final lineup changed.

The Glasgow appearance was unusual because Bolt skipped the individual sprints. A hamstring injury had disrupted his season, and he treated the relay as a chance to compete while rebuilding fitness. He later described the event as important for showing his progress and competing for the crowd.

The main confusion is with the Olympic Games and World Championships, where Bolt collected many sprint and relay titles. He did not win this Commonwealth relay gold in Delhi, Melbourne or Gold Coast; Glasgow 2014 was his Commonwealth Games relay triumph.
