Why would they not include Damian Warner who just ran 10.12 in the Decathlon 100m - way faster than the other guys in the open 100m. Thoughts?

Pretty sure he is on the Canadian 4 x 100m team.
NO
I think their relay guys train together, that's why Canada usually places well despite having a couple guys with slower PRs. They actually practice their handoffs.
But with Warner jumping that far and running that fast, you wonder why he didn't do the long jump and relay. He is clearly focused on the decathlon. I think he should try for the NBA or NFL after Tokyo. He's that good.
You actually have to practice for relays. That speed won't matter if you aren't sharp and don't have good timing. Relay practice would probably divert too much attention from decathlon. Decathlon is a handful already.
