Nobody had a busier day at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials than Tianna Bartoletta.

The world champion in long jump secured her Olympic berth in that event, which was going on at the same time as her 100-meter qualifying heats. She advanced to the semifinals in the 100.

Bartoletta petitioned for a schedule change to no avail.
