Didn't get eliminated, but Tyson Gay nearly went out in the first round of the 100 in the 2008 Olympic Trials. Then set an American record next round lol
Sherricka Jackson in the 200m at last years Olympics. Elaine almost got bounced too. “Taking it easy” in the early rounds is such a lousy strategy. Shutting it down once the the top 2 places has been secured is different.
Reigning World Champ was at the top of his game but no height PV at the 92 trials. Missed the Games but came back a few weeks later and set the decathlon WR
