USAIN BOLT’S MAM has been in the news over the last week thanks to her hope that her son will settle down and get married soon.

But last night – as Usain stormed to another gold medal in the 200m final in Rio - the focus was on her in the stands.

And she didn’t look all that impressed

Spotted by US journalist Kyle Porter, the Vine of Jennifer Bolt’s nonplussed reaction has gone viral.

Probably too used to seeing her son burn up the Olympics

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

Then people were asking was that Paul McCartney standing behind her

Nah, but he could probably be part of a budget Beatles tribute act.

Other Jamaican mams were not so calm about the win

Still, Jennifer Bolt is bound to be delighted with the news – she just knows how to keep her cool at this stage of the game.
