Tyson Gay is not competing in the 200m. WHY? Yes, he fell down in the trials. Isn't this gonna cost US a gold?

He is the world record holder. WHAT IS WRONG WITH TEAM USA POLICY??|||He is not the world record holder, he is the current world champion.


the U.S. selects its Olympic teams through a competitive meet.


Gay pulled or strained a muscle and did not qualify to run the 200 in Beijing.


This is not the first, nor will it be the last time that the best athlete did not qualify for the Olympics.


There is always discussions about making changes in the process, but no one can agree and even though this procedure may not field the best team it is the fairest way to pick a team.


No one wants a committee playing favorites on who gets to go to the Olympics.


Gay would have been one of the favorites, but you never know who is going to win a race, that is why we run the race.|||he is not the world record holder...michael johnson is and he set that at the 1996 olympics in atlanta. and actually it might not cost the u.s. the gold because the u.s. have lots of sprinters who run the 200m like xavier carter, wallace spearmon,walter dix,and etc. also there is nothing wrong with the team usa policy...if an athlete does not qualify for an event for the olympics that athlete just doesn't qualify they couldn't do that because that would be called cheating, but on the bright side he gets to run the 100m and 4x100m relay at Beijing.
