Paris awaits for Sha'Carri, Lyles and dozens more, but Olympic spots must be earned at trials

FILE - Sha’Carri Richardson, of the United States, celebrates after she crosses the finish line to anchor her team to gold in the Women’s 4x100-meters relay final during the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, Aug. 26, 2023. There is one more item to scratch off the list before everyone from Richardson to Noah Lyles to Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone embark on their trips to Paris for the Olympics: Making the Olympic team. US track trials start Friday, June21, 2024.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Christian Taylor is now 34 and no sure thing to make the U.S. team in the triple jump. It wasn’t always that way. He won every gold medal at the Olympics and worlds from 2011-2019. Then, like now, nobody handed him anything when he walked into Hayward Field in Eugene with a spot on the line.Coco Gauff to lead US tennis team at Paris Olympics after missing Tokyo“I always felt like I had so much to lose because everyone expected it,” Taylor said.

She also has a potential rival in the making — reigning world champion Femke Bol of the Netherlands, who finished second to McLaughlin-Levrone at the world championships in 2022 and third, also behind 2016 Olympic champion Dalilah Muhammad, at the Olympics the year before that.kept her out of the Olympics , she is back and looks to be in top form. She’ll try for the 100 and 200, and would be a shoo-in for the women’s 4x100 relay team.

Lyles is positioning himself to be track’s next big star. One way to do it would be to win three — maybe even four — medals at the Olympics. He won gold in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay last year at the worlds and has put himself in the mix — much to the chagrin of some 400-meter runners on the U.S. team — for the 4x400 relay as well.
