Congratulations: Noah Lyles won gold again in the100, 200 and 4×100 relay in this year’s world championships…
The U.S. track and field squad is often referred to as the toughest Olympic team to make. The trials are a crucible where one bad day can erase four years — or three, in this case — of grueling
preparation, with plenty of depth and talent ready to steal a spot from a favorite. The “American Olympics” are one of the most competitive events in track and field. Most athletes will tell you they’ll feel more pressure in Oregon than they will in Paris. It makes for a 10-day spectacle of joy, agony and plenty of surprises.
