EUGENE, Ore.
Cheap Basketball College Jerseys . --
Consider this a second chance for Tyson Gay. Maybe his last one, too.The
33-year-old sprinter was handed a spot on the U.S. Olympic track team as a relay
runner Monday, more than two years after his doping positive cost the Americans
their silver medal from the 2012 Games.Gay dominated the sprints for a time
before Usain Bolt burst onto the scene in 2008. The American is still ranked
second all-time behind Bolt with a time of 9.69 seconds in the 100.But the last
several years have been a struggle, filled with injuries and setbacks -- none
bigger than a positive doping test in 2013 that cost him one year out of the
sport and forced the relay team to surrender its medal.Gay finished fifth in the
100 and sixth in the 200 at the recently completed Olympic trials, but coaches
stuck to the order of finish for the 100 meters, taking Gay and sixth-place
finisher Christian Coleman, along with Mike Rodgers, whose spot was locked in
thanks to his fourth-place finish.In Gay, the U.S. gets a two-time Olympian and
2007 world champion at both 100 and 200 meters -- choosing him over
high-schoolers Noah Lyles and Michael Norman, who finished 4-5 in the 200 at
trials.Asked before the trials what it would mean to make the team, Gay said: A
hell of a lot. Im considered the old one of the bunch now. It definitely means a
lot to me to still keep up with these young guys here, use some of my veteran
skills to my advantage.Also added for relays on the 127-person team, which
includes 84 first-time Olympians, were Arman Hall, Tony McQuay and Kyle Clemons
(mens 4x400), Ariana Washington (womens 4x100) and Francena McCorory and
Courtney Okolo (womens 4x400).Some other things to know about the U.S. track and
field team:LIKE A FINE WINE: At 41, Bernard Lagat is still going strong --
making his fifth Olympic team. The ageless 5,000-meter runner showed just about
everyone that age is merely a number. I dont believe Im old, Lagat said. If you
believe youre old -- Im going to run like an old man.JUST A KID: For a few days,
18-year-old high jumper Vashti Cunningham was set to be the youngest to compete
for the U.S. Olympic track team in four decades. That lasted until 16-year-old
Sydney McLaughlin came along and made the team in the 400-meter hurdles and took
that distinction. To think, she had a little case of stage fright to begin the
trials. It hardly showed as she set the world junior record to finish third and
earn her place in Rio. This has to be the icing on the cake, the prep star from
New Jersey said. Regardless of what happens in Rio, I made it here and Im just
so thankful for all of that.FEEL-GOOD STORY ENDS WELL: 800-meter runner Boris
Berian made the team despite an uphill climb -- working at McDonalds after
dropping out of college to earn extra money to train and recently winning a
lawsuit over Nike over what gear he could wear that nearly kept him off the
starting line.FEEL-GOOD STORY ENDS NOT AS WELL: 110-meter hurdler and defending
Olympic champion Aries Merritt finished fourth -- missing the team by one spot
less than a year after returning from a kidney transplant. He had a positive
outlook, though. For me to be where I am is a miracle, said Merritt, who
operated at 10 percent kidney function when he captured a bronze medal at the
2015 world championships last summer.DOUBLE DIP: Why stop at one event when you
can double? There are plenty of athletes doubling up in Rio, including Galen
Rupp (marathon, 10,000 meters), LaShawn Merritt (200, 400), Tianna Bartoletta
(100, long jump), Tori Bowie (100, 200) and Justin Gatlin (100, 200). But Molly
Huddle, who qualified for the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, was entered only in the
10K. And Allyson Felix, who had designs on a 200-400 double, didnt make the 200
lineup.
