Long jumper Tyrone Smith might not have travelled with a personal coach to London to assist in his ambitious Olympic medal bid.But he will have the wise words of Tom Tellez and his son Kyle ringing in his ears when he stares down the runway towards the sandy pit at the Olympic Stadium on Friday.Smith teamed up with Tellez senior, who trained US legend Carl Lewis, in 2007 and is now coached by the fabled coach’s son, Kyle.Neither Tellez has accompanied Smith to London due to strict Olympic policies which limit each team to one coach per two athletes.However, Smith believes the lessons he has learned from both men will serve him well in his quest to win Bermuda’s first medal since boxer Clarence Hill claimed bronze at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.“Coach (Tom) Tellez will not be attending the Olympics with me,” said Smith, whose impromptu jig during the opening ceremony caused a storm on Twitter, which exploded with thousands of Tweets about his dancing.“He actually came back out of retirement midway through last season but for continuity I decided to stay with his son (Kyle).“Being coached by Tom for those years was an invaluable experience for me. He taught me how to run fast and relaxed which was a big missing piece of the puzzle for me.“He also helped me to correct some mistakes that were deeply embedded in my technique. With those lessons learned and the intense training workouts I receive from my University coach, Bryan Schiding, as well as the daily technical instruction from Tom’s son, Kyle, I am sitting in an excellent position to succeed.”Although Smith won’t have his day-to-day coach in his corner, he will be able to pick the brains of Bermuda triple jump legend Brian Wellman, the Island’s track and field coach in London.Wellman, who competed in Seoul ‘88, Barcelona ‘92, Atlanta ‘96 and Sydney 2000, will also be hoping to inspire a top performance from Arantxa King who competes in the women’s long jump next Tuesday.Smith stepped up his Olympic preparations by winning a high profile meet in his final pre-Games competition in Germany with a leap of 7.95 metres.And the 27-year-old, who won gold at the 2010 CAC Games in Puerto Rico, said he was bristling with confidence ahead of Friday’s qualifiers.“My last minute preparations are going very well and are giving me a nice boost in confidence,” said the Houston-based athlete. “I’m really looking forward to stepping foot on that runway. It’s going to be a great couple of days in history.”
