EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — It's a sport built on speed, and at U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials on Saturday, sprinters wasted no time drawing conclusions about Usain Bolt's summertime itinerary.
The consensus: He'll be in Rio.
For the second straight day, the Jamaican sprinter's hamstring was Topic No. 1 in the track world. If Bolt is seriously hurt, the entire Olympics will take on a new perspective, whether it's Bolt at less-than-full strength or — still unthinkable at this point — absent altogether.
Not that anyone going through preliminary rounds in Eugene was worried about that.
