EUGENE, Ore. -- Allyson Felix is supposed to be cementing her track legacy this summer.Instead, she comes into U.S. Olympic trials hobbling, unsure and simply hoping for third place.On a slow, painful comeback from a freak injury to her right ankle, the most decorated female sprinter in U.S. history will have to grit out spots on the 200 and 400-meter teams to have a chance to become the first woman to capture that double at the Olympics.The trials were supposed to be little more than a warmup and a bon voyage party for the 30-year-old, six-time Olympic medalist. But when Felix landed awkwardly on a medicine ball while doing core exercises at her gym in Los Angeles two months ago, everything changed.Ive never seen my ankle that big before, and it happened just immediately, she said. When it happened, there were a number of thoughts running through my head. A scary moment. Id never had anything like that happen before.After the fright, came frustration and a slow recovery.Shes had to alter her workout routine, including running the wrong way around the track, so as not to put as much strain on her right ankle, which, as the outside ankle, is more at risk over counterclockwise trips around the oval.She has not been able to prepare for the grueling schedule that the double will require in Rio. It was Felixs camp that pushed for the scheduling change the International Olympic Committee granted in order to make the double possible. Even with the adjustment, Felix will have to race on five consecutive days, including Aug. 15, which features 200-meter prelims in the morning and the 400 final at night.Maybe most alarming, Felix has barely raced this year. The 400-meter prelim Friday will be only her second test of the ankle in real competition since the injury.She concedes she has thought about scaling back her schedule, maybe to focus on the 200 meters -- her specialty, and the one at which shes won three gold medals at world championships and a gold and two silvers at the Olympics.She hasnt been able to let go of her dream, though.I set those goals long ago, she said. I wanted to fight to be able to have that opportunity. I dont know if Ill ever have it again. Swell Water Bottle Sale 17 Oz .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Under the massive wings of Usain Bolt, Jamaica keeps producing sprinters of stunning quality.Elaine Thompson is the latest.After completing a sprint double at the Olympics with an overpowering performance in the 200 meters on Wednesday, Thompson is now one small step ahead of Bolt, who will try to clinch his double on Thursday.Thompsons latest victory made her the first woman to win the 100 and 200 at the Olympics since Florence Griffith Joyner at the 1988 Seoul Games.I saw photos on Google, yes. I didnt know the person, Thompson said of the American great, who died 18 years ago.Ever since then, no female sprinter had anything close to a lock on the shortest distances like Bolt has had over the past decade.Jamaica had stars like Veronica Campbell-Brown and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce raking in Olympic gold medals, but a double always eluded them. It all came together for the 24-year-old Thompson.Im a warrior, a strong girl, Thompson said. I guess hard work pays off.It was evident in the race itself. Dafne Schippers was the sprinter to beat, but the Dutchwoman is known to be slow out of the blocks. Thompson, running two lanes in front her, knew her task: Get out like lightning and make sure Schippers can never get close.dddddddddddd.I know Dafne is a strong finisher so I knew I had to have a strong finish as well, just keep my composure and execute straight to the line, Thompson said.She did exactly that. Try as Schippers might, this was not going to be like last years world championships, when Schippers beat Thompson for gold in Beijing in a thrilling duel.Both dipped for the line on Wednesday, but Thompson was stronger. So much so that Schippers crashed just as she leaned at the finish.I was getting closer and closer, Schippers said. I felt I was nearly passing her but then I broke down as well.Thompson also fell to the track when she saw gold was hers. Lactic pains from the effort immediately seized her legs.I had to lay down to recover, to do my celebration, she said.Like Bolt has down twice before, Thompson can now go for a triple. The 4x100 relay heats are Thursday, with the final on Friday. ' ' '
