Track and field continues Wednesday night, and while there are a host of events on the slate Jamaica’s Usain Bolt is once again the headliner.
Bolt will be running in the semis of the 200, with challengers such as Americans Justin Gatlin and LaShawn Merritt, Canada’s Andre DeGrasse and Jamaica’s Yohan Blake also looking to lock up a spot in Thursday night’s final. Jamaica swept the medals in this event four years ago, but it’s going to be a lot more difficult to pull that off in Rio. In addition to the 200 semis competition will begin in the men’s javelin, with reigning world champion Julius Yego and Americans Cyrus Hostetler, Sam Crouser and Sean Furey all looking to advance.
