“After three weeks he was pushing because he was so strong,” Jennifer Bolt told journalists in Rio.
“One day, I left him on the bed and when I came back he was close to falling off, so from here I was saying, ‘What kind of child he is?” she recalled. By the age of 12, Bolt was the fastest in his school. “He was always on top,” she said.
Bolt’s parents predicted the sprinter will deliver in his Olympics swansong.
