Former Arkansas sprinter Tyson Gay, 33, still had enough fuel in the tank to make the final of the 200 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore., but he couldn't put together a strong finish.
Gay ran 20.38 Saturday night at Hayward Field to take sixth.
It was Gay's sixth race of the Trials after he was fifth in the 100 final last week and the workload appeared to take a toll considering he ran faster in his 200 semifinals (20.16) Friday night than in the final.
Gay still has made his third Olympic team as a member of the 400 relay pool on the strength of his performance in the 100.
