EUGENE, Ore. -- Tyson Gay has tumbled to the ground at the start of his 200-meter quarterfinal heat at the U.S. Olympic trials and had to be carted off the track. Running in the seventh lane, Gay was speeding to the lead in the first turn Saturday, but something went wrong. He went airborne, fell, then laid on the ground in pain. He already had qualified for the Olympics in the 100 meters, but his availability for the games will now be determined by the severity of his injury.
