A new fictional movie entitled "Keep On Pushing"
about the Jamaican Bobsleigh team, in the vein of audience favorite
"Cool Runnings" has been funded and released by tech giant Samsung.
The digital film with a comedic twist has been released to coincide
with the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. The movie has cameos by
Gold Medalist Usain Bolt as well as the 1988 and 2014 Jamaican
Bobsleigh team.
As the Winter Olympics begin today, the Judiciary
Report would like to wish all the participants from every nation the
best. May it be a great winter games in the spirit of brotherhood
and sisterhood. At the end of the day we are all human and should
love and appreciate each other as citizens of the world.
Jamaican sprinter and gold medalist, the charming and charismatic
Asafa Powell, did a funny television interview in Australia last week,
where he jokingly stated he wants to break Usain Bolt’s legs, for
taking his title of the fastest man in the world (get him Asafa -
kidding). That's right, Asafa wants to Nancy Kerrigan his teammate
Usain.
Usain to Asafa: You're kidding, right? Dude if you
ever...
Asafa: he won't see it coming... *Dr. Evil laugh*
During the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, figure skater
Tonya Harding hired someone to jump rival Nancy Kerrigan, hitting her
leg with a crowbar with the intent of breaking it, so she could win the
competition. However, the press, late night talk show hosts and
comedians turned the whole thing into a big punch line. Everyone found
it funny except, well, Nancy Kerrigan.

got shot, after a man hired by rival tried to break her leg, but
missed, only bruising it

But back to Asafa and Usain, the two national heroes are friends,
who joke with each other online, so of course he was kidding. For
example, when people on Twitter kept asking Asafa, Usain Bolt and
compatriot Yohan Blake to make a remake of the hit film "Cool
Runnings" Powell's response was funny.
Cool Runnings
Asafa shut it down immediately, hilariously stating no, because by
the time towering Bolt gets into the bobsled, no one else could fit in
it (LOL). I can totally see Blake as "Sanka" from the
original film. Yohan has that "long hair don’t care" thing
going on like the movie character. I would pay to see that movie. In
closing, continued success to them all.

Side Bar: during the interview posted above, the host said
they asked his teammates what to ask him. The question they came up
with? Ask him if he is the "pumpum king" which is Jamaican
slang for "vagina king" as a lot of women like him and he has
dated some of Jamaica's most beautiful women. Getting them to ask him
that was dead wrong (LOL). Poor thing blushed and couldn't
answer.
