Tyson Gay Injured, Could Miss Olympics
Track star Tyson Gay took a spill while qualifying for the 200-metres and could miss the Beijing Olympics all together. Gay suffered a severe hamstring cramp and came tumbling to the ground during Saturday’s qualifying heat in Eugene, Oregon.
Earlier in the week Gay had recorded the fastest time on history running the 100 meters in 9.68 seconds. An MRI will be performed to see if he can still make the trip to Beijing.
