NEW YORK -- How does the mom of Usain Bolt help the worlds fastest man keep his cool?We say things that will make him laugh, said Jennifer Bolt as her sprinter star offspring faces down what just may be his last Olympics.At nearly 30, Bolt has six Olympic gold medals from the Beijing and London Olympics. Though he withdrew July 1 from Jamaicas national meet with a slight tear in his left hamstring, the world record holder in the 100- and 200-meter dash proved his fitness July 22 in the 200 at the London Anniversary Games and deemed himself good to go for Rio.A few days before the London event, his mom visited New York and said in an interview that she wasnt worried, having long ago learned that calming her own nerves was the best way to soothe Usain.I know hes going to get well and everything will be OK for the games, said the soft-spoken Jennifer, who has been cheering him on since his speed first surfaced around 12 or 13.I tell him just stay focused, remember God, remember to pray and read your Bible, she said.Usain has come back from injuries before, including left hamstring problems. When it happened in 2004 at what was supposed to be his first Olympics, in Athens, he didnt make it past the first round. He was just 17.It was a bit scary because we didnt really understand and know what it was, Jennifer said. He had wanted so much to be at the Olympics and he just couldnt make it.Jennifer and Usains dad, Wellesley, live in the same village along Jamaicas northern coast where they ran a general store during his youth. Theyve been helping him, Jennifer said, not get nervous since 2002, when at age 15 he debuted at the World Junior Championships in Kingston.He won the 200-meter -- and that was the beginning for the 6-foot-5 sprinter, who had never been away from his parents or his modest village of Sherwood Content in Trelawny Parish before he left for Kingston to train professionally.At 12, when he earned a scholarship to attend a high school known for turning out strong athletes, it all clicked for Jennifer. Bolt loved cricket and football growing up but he has said he settled on track because he was good at it.As a child, she said, he could not keep still. Even in the bed, you could see him tossing. When he started high school, thats when we see that hes really competitive.Over the years, Jennifer said, she has realized her best approach is to remain strong when her son falters.I learn to cope with it. I cannot feel down when I have to support him. I just pray and hope that everything will be good, she said. I know that he still depends on his mother.Its just as he did as a teen.I can remember in 2002 for the world championships. At the time he was 15 and before the games he didnt want to go. And he cries, and I had to try to comfort him, encourage him to go out and do his best because he didnt feel that he could have done it, she said. I was really, really, really nervous and, you know, my legs shake. My heart beat.Then she listened to the crowd.The crowd was behind him. From then I dont feel that nervous, she said.The scene plays out a bit in The Boy Who Learned to Fly , a new short animated film produced by Gatorade and based on Usains life. The advice her animated self gives to her jittery teen before the 2002 junior worlds: You can always go fast when you keep it light.Norman Peart, who handles finances for Usain, has been a mentor since he was 15. Peart accompanied him to Kingston when Usain first left home to train. Usain lived with him, and later his wife and kids, for three years.Theres a saying in Jamaica that fits Usain perfectly, said Peart, 13 years his senior.We say, you have to have crocodile skin to handle the pressure, and he does, he said.So how do the two think the ebullient Usains retirement, maybe in the next year or so, will play out? Jennifer thinks hed make a great TV analyst.Hed put a little vibes to the sports, she laughed of her sons reputation for his trademark lightning bolt, his love of flashing huge smiles and his party spirit.Peart thinks the same of Usains future.I can see him as an analyst. And hell do stuff with Puma for years to come for sure, said Peart of one of Usains biggest endorsement deals.But before that: The first thing hell do is take a little break. Hed love some time for himself.---The Boy Who Learned to Fly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b03jWW70kc Cheap Jersyes . That gave fans outside Joe Louis Arena another chance to ask for autographs from the 19-year-old whose stardom in the NHL has arrived earlier than most expected. Wholesale Jerseys USA . LOUIS -- St. http://www.cheapjerseysthrowback.com/ . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. China Jerseys Authentic . A big centre with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high three points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak. Wholesale NFL Jerseys . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Such is the juggernaut that is the U.S. womens basketball team that there must have been something terribly wrong on Friday when, horror of horrors, it got off to a slow start against Canada, won by 30 points and scored less than 100.Earlier this week, the women were too good. On Friday, their 81-51 victory was almost a case of, What happened?Such is the supremacy of this team that Canada, one of the more formidable groups in the competition, was actually pretty pumped over the whole thing.We were really happy we were able to keep them under 100 and be the only one that [has done] that, said Natalie Achonwa, who plays for the Indiana Fever as the only Canadian player on an WNBA team.It was the 45th straight Olympic victory for the U.S., which is pursuing its sixth straight gold medal. But given the U.S. womens soccer teams loss to Sweden on Friday, anything is possible, right?Maybe not.The womens hoops team watched part of the soccer game before its contest versus Canada, and U.S. coach Geno Auriemma later related a conversation he once had with the legendary UConn womens soccer coach Len Tsantiris.We weere talking once after a game, Auriemma said, and I asked him, So, what happened? And he said, We dominated the game.dddddddddddd Dominated. We had 24 shots on goal. They had two. ... We lost, 1-0.Auriemma shook his head.See, I dont have to worry about that, he said. If we dominate a game that bad, were going to win. Thats a crazy game, a crazy game. I dont know how they do it.Even if Auriemmas team doesnt dominate, as it did in the first half, theyre still going to win -- ?and, on most occasions, win big.The Canadians were more physical than usual on defense and disciplined in their offensive sets.Some teams, their style of play isnt going to necessarily allow [100 points], Auriemma said. They maximize every shot clock opportunity, and they run their offense over and over and over.And we shot the ball lousy in the first half.If 48 percent is lousy, however, Canada was far lousier, connecting on just 1 of 10 shots in the second quarter, 6-of-19 in the third and 19-of-58 overall for 33 percent.
