Beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings is the subject of a
new documentary, and to get any closer to whats going on inside the
three-time Olympic gold medalist you would need an X-ray.

.Actually, the 45-minute film scheduled to debut five days before the
opening ceremony of the Rio de Janeiro Games includes MRI scans of her
shoulder, along with footage from the operating room where Walsh
Jennings had one of the four surgeries she needed to get back to the
Olympics for a fifth time.It seemed like such a big honor and such a big
opportunity to show everything that goes into it, Walsh Jennings said
in an interview with The Associated Press. Were a pretty open-book
family; we kind of lead with our hearts. Theres nothing to hide.Produced
by Tribeca Digital Studios and Dicks Sporting Goods Films, Kerri Walsh
Jennings: Gold Within will debut on July 31 on NBC and give a more
in-depth view of the athletes journey to Rio than the short, soft-focus
vignettes the network will air during the games.The trailer released
this week includes scenes of Walsh Jennings at home discussing toilet
training with one of her toddlers, and picking another up from school.
Her husband, fellow beach volleyball pro Casey Jennings, speaks of her
dedication; Margery Lee Walsh is interviewed while waiting for her
daughter to come out of surgery.I hope what they capture most is that
there are so many people who help me to chase my dreams, said Walsh
Jennings, who hadnt seen the final cut of the footage. No one behind you
gets the appreciation they deserve.Producers followed Walsh Jennings
over the last 11 months, a spokesman said. Soon after they started
shooting, she had surgery on her separated right shoulder and raced back
to the beach to beat an Olympic qualification deadline.Dr. William
Schobert, her orthopedic surgeon, tried to rein Walsh Jennings in,
telling her that a six-month recovery is more the standard than the four
months she set as a goal.I know, she tells him, with a shake of her
head and a slight smile. But we are not standard people.Its typical of
Walsh Jennings, a perpetually optimistic Stanford graduate nicknamed Six
Feet of Sunshine that has a ruthless side that comes out on the court. I
believe, with all my heart, without one single doubt, that I am going
to come back stronger from this, she says in the film.But in a rare
moment of doubt, she also admits to partner April Ross that she was
scared. Walsh Jennings told the AP she could not recall what prompted
the emotion but acknowledged that such misgivings do arise.In this
journey, the fear creeps in from time to time, Walsh Jennings said. The
hint of that is there because theres an unknown factor to
everything.Thats true in everyones life, she said. I dont choose to live
there. I let it spark me.----Jimmy Golen covers Olympic beach

Rosberg continued his fine start to the season by topping the timesheets
in a Chinese GP first practice session that was disrupted by red flags
and punctures.
The German has claimed victory in the first two races of the
season, bringing his winning streak to five races, and beat team-mate
Lewis Hamilton by just over a tenth of a second with a 1:38.037 in
Shanghai on Friday morning.Ferraris Sebastian Vettel trailed the
Mercedes duo in third, while Fernando Alonso made his return from injury
to finish 12th in the McLaren.
However, P1 was overshadowed by two red flags due to rear left tyre
problems.First, Felipe Massa spun off at Turn Six after his tyre came
loose, with debris flying off his Williams. Following heavy clean-up
work on track and back in the garage the Brazilian returned later on in
the session, only to face a failure on the same tyre, at the same
corner.Moments later, Kevin Magnussen was also limping back to the pits
with the same rear left tyre shredded.
Pirelli insisted that Massas
issues were not down to simple punctures, instead putting it down to
air loss connected to technical trouble. They later confirmed that the
Williams and Renault problems were not tyre related.While investigations
will continue, McLaren engineers suspected that the Williams problem
was due to the tyre rubbing against body work, with Magnussens down to
debris on the track.Massa though, was uncertain. We had two punctures.
Why? I dont know, he told Sky Sports F1. We are investigating. For
sure, something is touching the tyre or the wheel or whatever.We had no
idea why we had the first problem. We checked the car and it was ok. But
then we had the same problem.
Hamilton, who has been handed a
five-place grid penalty for the race, set the early pace on the mmedium
compound - two tenths faster than Rosberg.

However, the world champion was reporting problems as he locked up and
span off twice at Turn 11.Following the 30-minute stoppage due to the
second red flag there was a flurry of activity at the end of the
session, during which Rosberg edged ahead of his team-mate.Even Rosberg
encountered issues towards the end of the session, which Mercedes
diagnosed as an ignition problem.
