In Olympic news, the Olympian from Kentucky Tyson Gay will be competing in the 100m dash, but not the 200m. Gay pulled up with leg cramps in the first round of the preliminary 200m contest. He will not be able to repeat a 200m gold medal in Beijing.

Many folks in the USA not happy about this outcome. The way the Olympics trials work, even if you are the best in the world and have been for several years, you still have to compete and win in the trials. No exceptions.
It could be that the USA Track and Field team will not be putting forth their best in the 200m, due to the "all or nothing" nature of the Olympic trial rulings. We respect Tyson Gay for his humble and eloquent acceptance of the rules. The rules are as they have always been. Yet, we have to ponder if these rules need revisiting.
I wish all the USA Olympians, and the Olympians with Kentucky sports connections, all the best as they pursue "The Gold" in Beijing China.
