I love to see former elite athletes pulling out all the stops for their final shot at the Olympics. Some athletes come out of retirement, others change events to better their odds. Who will be the comeback stories of 2016?

Maggie vessey will be 34 and will give it everything to make her first team!!
Not really a comeback, but expect to see lagat make his 4th Olympic team after a lackluster usatf this year.
Jeremy Wariner
No other than the great bernard lagat
Kenenisa Bekele
Willis for sure, and of course Kiprop and Kiplagat.
Tiru should be gving the 10000 one more go as well. I think Defar is done. Shalane in the marathon as well. Felix in the sprints.
Is Eaton going back to the deca? Hopefully Gatlin will be gone, but....
Across the Olympic sports: Michael Phelps. And, though it would be less of a surprise, Bradley Wiggins.
Ben Blankenship, I think he said he'd quit if he didn't make the team this year but came so close that he'll keep trying.
German Fernandez or Solinsky
Teg in the marathon.
Gabe Jennings!
Meb, baby!
Alan webb
Webb's back, baby!
...Someone had to say it.
Jabe Jennings! He'll ride his bike to Rio once he makes the team!
Its going to happen wrote:
Gabe Jennings!
Dan Lincoln wants his record back. And given our depth, he could still make the team.
Fam! Erin Donohue, Teg, Batman, Symonds
Sanya Richards, Lolo Jones and Dee Dee Trotter all going for their 4th Olympic teams.
I hope Solinsky miraculously makes the team.
