The penultimate day of the U.S. Olympic trials in track and field saw quite the coincidence. Or not, as Gwen Berry believes.
The American hammer thrower qualified for her second Olympics on Saturday with a throw of 241 feet and 2 inches, finishing third in the event behind DeAnna Price and Brooke Andersen. All three will head to Tokyo, but the intrigue began when the trio took the podium for their medal ceremony.
Unlike the Olympics, the national anthem is not played during medal ceremonies at the Olympic trials. It has been played once per day at a set time.
