EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Allyson Felix's chance at the Olympic double is over. She was beaten out for third place by .01 seconds by a diving Jenna Prandini in the 200-meter final at U.S. Track and Field Trials on Sunday.

Felix was shooting for the 200-400 double, made possible when Olympic organizers changed the schedule after a request that originated in the United States.

She made the 400-meter final, but in her signature event — the one where she was hoping to defend her Olympic title — she could not make it through.

Prandini will be joined by Tori Bowie and Deajah Stevens, who finished 1-2.
