Allyson Felix will run in the 100 and 200m at the Olympics after Jeneba
Tarmoh backed out of a planned run-off for the last 100m berth on
Monday, USA Track & Field said. Tarmoh sent an e-mail to officials
saying she was withdrawing from the run-off, which had been scheduled
for Monday afternoon to settle a deadlock after Tarmoh and Felix
finished in a dead heat for third place, and the last Olympic spot on
offer, in the women’s 100m nine days before. “I Jeneba Tarmoh have
decided to decline my 3rd place position in the 100m dash to Allyson
Felix,” Tarmoh wrote in an e-mail forwarded to USA Track & Field
president Stephanie Hightower.
