Bolt won his first major championship medal and earned Gay's admiration.
"He's shown a lot of maturity," Gay said. "I want the world to know that he's a great competitor."
Gay said he had not yet talked with his coach Lance Brauman, who was released from a federal prison to a halfway house Tuesday.
"I just received a text message from him to do my best," Gay said.
Brauman was sentenced to a year in prison on embezzlement and other offenses relating to his handling of scholarship money at Barton Community College in Kansas. Brauman also coaches Spearmon and world 100-meter champion Veronica Campbell.
Defending champion Dwight Phillips managed a bronze in the long jump, giving the United States 13 medals, three more than second-place Russia. The Americans have six gold.
There was high drama in the long jump, where Irving Saladino of Panama won on his final jump - 28 feet, 1 1/2 inches. Andrew Howe of Italy had taken the lead with a national record jump of 27-9 1/2.
Australian Jana Rawlinson won the 400-meter hurdles just eight months after giving birth to a son. Defending champion and world record holder Yuliya Pechenkina of Russia was second.
"The last 18 months have been truly incredible" the former Jana Pittman said. "Getting married, having a baby and then coming and winning a world title. I don't think you can beat that."
Pechenkina welcomed Rawlinson back to competition but said "the revenge could come at the Olympics."
