- 800m champion fell during US Olympic trials
- 22-year-old had hoped to be named in relay team
The only real surprise when the US track and field roster for the Paris Olympics came out on Tuesday was who didn’t make the list: Athing Mu.
Although the middle-distance runner didn’t qualify at the US Olympic trials to defend the 800m title she won at the Tokyo Games, she was under consideration for a spot in the relay pool. Instead, one of the biggest names in track will be left on the sideline for Paris 2024, which start later this month.
