Usain Bolt may have had his eye on the Triple-Triple at the Olympics, but his mother has her eye on his future! Jennifer Bold told CNN?s Don Riddell, ?I would hope he?ll settle down, get married and start his family.? "I know he'll settle down because he has said it," she added. ?He told me many times that he?s going to start a family.?
There's clearly a lot of love in the Bolt household back in their hometown of Trelawny in Jamaica -- the sprinter's mom references the word "joy" a number of times in her interview with CNN. "Oh I'm so overwhelmed ... the joy ... sometimes I cry," she says when asked about the adulation Bolt seems to attract from crowds whenever he runs. "The tears are coming out within me. It's just tears of joy."
If Jennifer Bolt has cried tears of joy at her son's power to connect with people there were times in the formative years of his career when he cried in experiencing nervousness before big races, notably at the 2002 World Junior Championships in Jamaica -- a scene portrayed in a new film about his life.
"When I talked with him he stopped crying and I think he thought about it and he said: 'OK mom, I'm going to do my best.'
"He's trying to get everyone to love because he has grown close to us and yet he has gotten a lot of love. So he's like to share some of that joy with others."
