RIO DE JANEIRO -- When Usain Bolt stepped out onto the track for the 100 meter final on Sunday night, fans started to chant, Bolt! Bolt! Bolt! One held up a carved figurine of him. After the race, those near Bolt on the edge of the track begged for selfies. Photographers waited eagerly for him to perform his famed lightning bolt salute.And why wouldnt there be this sort of reaction? Bolt is one of the biggest names in the entire world of sports. He is the world-record holder in the 100, and his victory on Sunday gave him three gold medals in the event, something no previous Olympian had ever done. He has won seven golds total and could win another two in the 200 and the 4x100 relay, which would be as many as Carl Lewis won.Bolt turns 30 years old in a week, however. His winning time of 9.81 was considerably shy of his world record 9.58. He said the short turnaround between the semifinal and the final slowed him down, which is something that happens as you age. He will be nearly 34 by the time the Tokyo Olympics roll around. And while 34-year-old Justin Gatlin became the oldest medalist in the 100 on Sunday night, it seems unlikely that Bolt will do that in 2020.You never know with Bolt, but as Canadian bronze medalist Andre De Grasse said, This is probably going to be the last Olympics for Usain and Gatlin.Bolt has been an extraordinary athlete to watch, with his great speed, height, long strides and flamboyant personality. He has essentially been the Michael Phelps of track since the 2008 Olympics, only much more entertaining.After he finishes these Olympics, it is time to begin looking to the future -- and who might be the next Bolt.Well, not the next Bolt, but the next great sprinters to follow.It will be hard to be exactly like me, but you just need to work hard, Bolt said. Its all about determination and what you want. For me, I worked for the work. You just push yourself in everything you do.De Grasse is one of those who could push himself to the top. He is 21 years old. He used to be a basketball player. But his high school dropped basketball during his senior year, and he shifted to track, where he quickly rose as a sprinter. He won the 100 and 200 at last summers Pan Am Games, and on Sunday, he became the first Canadian to medal in an Olympic sprint since Donovan Bailey in 1996.De Grasse and Bolt hugged after the race, and De Grasse said he would like to race against Bolt as many times as possible before the legend retires. He also said he would like to one day be a gold medalist, as well.Im always ready for the challenge, De Grasse said. This is my first Olympics, and Im happy I even got in the podium. Ive had an up-and-down season. Ive battled a couple injuries. But its a great feeling right now.Then there is U.S. sprinter Trayvon Bromell, who recently turned 21 and is young enough that he says he doesnt even recall Gatlin winning gold at the 2004 Olympics. He did not have a great race on Sunday, finishing last with a time of 10.06, but he was dealing with an Achilles injury that was so sore he said he could barely walk earlier in the day and might require surgery when he returns home. Still, he has one of the fastest times in the world this year. He also has overcome some incredibly difficult hardships, including living in poverty and several knee injuries.If you know where I came from, you would understand why Im so hungry to get where I am now, Bromell said. I came from the bottom. Most people cant say that. I wear my emotions on my sleeve. All my tattoos show what Ive been through, the bad neighborhood and the life that I lived. I fought through my neighborhood to get where Im at.Thats where my mindset comes from. Im hungry to be great. Ive got to be an example for these little kids. I had to get out of the street. Im not here to be a big-time champion. Im here to set an example.Just as Bolt has done. Bolt has inspired kids worldwide to take up sprinting and try to do what he has done. No one likely will match him, but you never know in sports. After all, at one point, Bolt was just a young kid with nothing but promise and determination.Drew Bledsoe Jersey .

Then, a few rounds later they went with another Southeastern Conference-tested prospect, Georgia receiver Malcolm Mitchell.Both are having memorable seasons as the Patriots wind toward the playoffs following a 30-23 win over the Ravens Monday night . But only Mitchell is producing the kind of memories worth savoring.Mitchell has become a reliable target for Tom Brady, picking up the slack nicely for receiver Danny Amendola, who missed his first game of the season with an ankle injury. Mitchell had four catches for 41 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter that helped put the Patriots up 16-0.Hes posted all four of his touchdowns this season over the past four weeks. Not bad for a player whose season seemed in peril after he suffered a gruesome-looking left elbow injury during New Englands preseason opener.It says a lot for a rookie to be playing his best in December, Brady said. It speaks to what hes all about, his mindset, his character, his determination. Hes worked his butt off since he got here and hes put himself in a great position. With Danny getting hurt hes gotten more opportunity, and were going to need it.Meanwhile, after struggling too hang on to the ball during kick returns , Jones issues continued against Baltimore.ddddddddddddHe had his fifth fumble of the season in the second half, setting up Baltimores first touchdown two plays later.Jones wore the disappointment on his face as he trudged toward the sideline following the turnover, a reminder that he still needs work on an issue he thought he was past.But coach Bill Belichick put the onus on the entire team to be better at ball security and eliminating mistakes, noting special teams captain Matt Slaters fumbled kickoff and Bradys interception Monday.We turned it over three times and all of those players and all of the other players -- weve got to do a better job of it, Belichick said. Weve got to coach it better. Weve got to handle it better.Despite his ongoing issues, Jones still has a lot of support in the locker room.Youre going to have some bad plays out there, safety Devin McCourty said. Youve just got to keep playing. Well continue to count on him, keep on making sure his confidence stays high.Mitchell said overcoming mistakes was the biggest key against the Ravens.We played as a team, even when we dealt with adversity, he said. We still stuck together, stayed focused, and did enough to win the game.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter a http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
