I just checked out the provisional start lists for Osaka and saw Sanya Richards listed for the 400 meters. I thought she made the team in the 200 only, not qualifying in her specialty, the 400.

she was 4th at the trials...if someone in front of her gets sick or injured, she would complete.
Looks like she probably is listed as an alternate or part of the 4x4 relay pool. The US in other events has more then 3 listed per event.
It appears to be qualifiers plus the altenate (the next person) after the qualifiers. The US list also includes Jonathan Johnson, Riley, and 5 people in the mens 400 for the US (where Wariner has an automatic).
