RIO DE JANEIRO -- They are buddies, Usain Bolt and David Rudisha, two runners who both made loud statements at the last Olympics. Corey Kluber Jersey .Off the track, one of them speaks louder -- and much more often -- than the other.Even though Rudisha, the 800-meter Olympic champion from Kenya, refers to Bolt as his brother from another mother, you really couldnt get two more contrasting characters.You can see and hear Bolt coming from a mile away. The sports No. 1 showman is all fabulous flash and dazzle, with the Bolt show opening this week in Rio de Janeiro with a packed news conference featuring Samba dancers, loads of selfies, and the Jamaican busting out a few moves of his own to some banging music for his adoring audience.No big deal for Bolt, but its safe to say that wouldnt happen with Rudisha.Apart from a couple of tweets -- one of them politely thanking the airline crew that flew him over to Brazil -- youre unlikely to see or hear much of the softly spoken and completely unassuming Rudisha until Friday. But then, when the running begins and the world-record holder over two laps stretches out his long legs on the first day of the track competition, you might remember that he also provided one of the most pulsating performances of the 2012 London Games with a record-breaking, wire-to-wire win.It was Rudisha versus the clock in the 800 final fours years ago -- the rest of the field faded into insignificance -- and it was a race of such pure dominance that even Bolt appreciated it. In London, the fastest man in the world put a media interview on hold to watch Rudisha get his gold at the medal ceremony, with Bolt standing to attention in respect as the Kenyan anthem played. Maybe that was payback for Bolt winning the 200 meters on the same day, and stealing Rudishas thunder.Rudisha really likes that Bolt is about much more than just self-promotion.When we meet, we always have a word since we know each other and its a great thing since we respect each other like brothers from different mothers, Rudisha said. He always makes time to come and watch us run, which tells you hes a true athlete who does not only go to support his event. I also make sure I dont miss his races when I have the chance.Funny thing: Rudisha says he and other Kenyans look up to Bolt as a big brother -- Bolt, at 29, is two years older than Rudisha but of all the roles you might entrust to Usain Bolt, the responsible older brother isnt the first one that comes to mind. Still, Rudisha seems to have learned a little from Bolt. Often portrayed as humble, shy even, Rudisha can now do a little boasting of his own. Theres plenty to boast about. He holds the three fastest times ever over 800 meters, as Bolt does in the 100, and has seven of the top 12.That performance is not a joke, those fast times. I have run under 1 minute, 42 seconds more than any other person, Rudisha said in an interview in Kenya ahead of the Rio Olympics. I dont think anybody will run like that anytime soon.In Rio, Bolt is ready to put the finishing touches on his legacy, while Rudisha is still building his. Rudisha has that Olympic title, and world titles in 2011 and 2015, but he still remembers a stinging failure at the 2009 world championships, when he got boxed in and eliminated in the semifinals. He was angry at the time and the memory still spurs him on.Rudishas form this season has been understated, copping a couple of losses in the Diamond League and only finishing third in the Kenyan trials, before putting up a world-leading time of 1:43.35 last month in Hungary. Thats put him only slightly ahead of Kenyan teammate Alfred Kipketer and American rival Boris Berian.But, again, he doesnt mind a quiet buildup. Rudisha has a habit of saving his best for when it counts.There is always that expectation (to run fast times) and it requires a lot of discipline when I appear in any meeting, since it is not easy to do the times everyone expects all the time, he said. So I try not to go all out for those fast times but to stay in shape. My preparations have been coming (good). I know in Rio I will be somewhere there.If he retains his title, Rudisha might even get to keep this gold medal. He gave the one from London to his father, Daniel. That was returning the favor after his father, a silver medalist with Kenyas 4x400 relay team at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, gave his medal to a young David years back to inspire him.I always admired his medal and when I brought the gold back to him, it was the realization of the dream, David Rudisha said.Dads take on his sons success?Im Rudisha, he said. Hes riding on my name.---Follow Gerald Imray on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/GeraldImrayAP---Follow the Rio Games at http://www.summergames.ap.org/ Manny Ramirez Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Custom Cleveland Indians Jerseys . Pence singled in the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to give the Giants a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday. http://www.baseballindiansprostore.com/indians-abr...te-jers ey/ . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick was in a bind Sunday afternoon.The Bengals were practicing at West Carrollton High School, about an hour away from the teams practice facility in downtown Cincinnati. Kirkpatrick got off the bus, rummaged through his bag, and realized he had no cleats. At that point, there was no going back to get them.So he had to improvise.I was looking around and saw that Coach [Marvin Lewis] was addressing some of the [high school] team, Kirkpatrick said. I just went over and I asked him if anybody had a pair.Lucky for Kirkpatrick, West Carrollton senior Bryan Jones had a pair on hand. It wasnt a perfect fit, as the cleats were one size too big. That meant Kirkpatrick had to go to the training table twice during practice to get his ankles taped and retaped.. Kenny Lofton Jersey. worried fan in the crowd of 6,000 on hand to watch practice yelled a question from the bleachers after Kirkpatricks second trip to visit the athletic trainer.Are you injured? the fan shouted.Kirkpatrick smiled and shook his head.It worked out pretty good, Kirkpatrick said. It was just a blessing that he was there and he had his cleats. I want to tell him I appreciate him.When practice was over, Kirkpatrick made sure to sign the shoes and send them back. Standing there in his socks, he signed autographs for at least 20 minutes more before he realized he was the last Bengal left on the field.Then Kirkpatrick, shoeless, sprinted off to catch the bus.
