Less than a month after he was crushed in the 100 meters by 21-year-old Jamaican Usain Bolt's world record of 9.72 seconds at the Reebok Track Classic in New York, Gay won the U.S. Olympic Trials.Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:41:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tim_layden/07/23/usain.bolt0728/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/tim_layden/07/23/usain.bolt0728/index.htmlThe Beijing games beckoned, far in the distance, as three sprinters aligned themselves last winter for a run at the grandest title in track and field -- Olympic 100-meter champion. They had clearly defined roles: the favorite, the record holder, the upstart.

A year ago at the World Track and Field Championships in Osaka, Japan, Gay rushed to the first page of history by winning the 100 meters, (humbling world record holder Asafa Powell of Jamaica) 200 meters and anchoring Team USA's gold medal-winning 4x100-meter relay.Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:56:00 EDThttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tim_layden/07/11/webb.track/index.htmlhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/tim_layden/07/11/webb.track/index.htmlWhen it comes to U.S. runner Alan Webb, there has always been a plan.

He writes the workouts and provides whatever motivation he can offer and when race day arrives, he finds a place among fans in the bleachers and hopes that the lessons have stuck. It is an unusual vocation under the best of circumstances: Part trainer, part planner, part shrink. And on race day, he has absolutely no control.Fri, 22 Jun 2007 05:02:00 EDT
