Breaking News: Gay Injured In 200

Trials 100 meter champion Tyson Gay pulled up injured in the first heat of Saturday's 200-meter quarterfinals. About 40 metes into the race, Gay took a high hop as if something had happened to his left hamstring. He was wheeled by cart off of the track.

The track announcer reported about five minutes ago that Gay suffered from a severe cramp, but no injury to the hamstring, which is good news for the U.S. in terms of the 100 meters. Either way, however, Gay will not have his chance to double in the 100 and 200.
