2008 USA Oly Team Selections

Time for an update. Lagat still lacking in the 5,000, Kara Goucher missing it in the 10,000.

We should expect Cardinal, Pre, etc. to be barnburners, no?

Odd that winning the WC 5000 does not trump a time mark, or even medaling in the WCs.

On the first page here it says any A will displace any B, but now we know (don't we?) that if there's only one A, and the OT winner is a B, the B will go. What events can that apply to? mHT? wTJ? wJT?

Lagat took care of his "problem."

[Chrome Dome]

As it stands now, I think there are some events with very few "A" qualifiers:

MTJ = 4
MHT = 1
MJT = 3
WHJ = 2
WTJ = 1
WSP = 4
MJT = 1
WHT = 3

And several with only 5 or 6 qualifiers.

So the next few weeks should see a lot of focus on chasing the Games "A" level! Should be exciting to follow.
