USAIN BOLT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't believe that happend

 

 

 

never mind, didnt realize their athletic committee still can let him go to rio

Which is fortunate, because a system where you're 100% out of the Olympics even if you miss the trials final because of an injury while being one of the very best in the world is just shit.. 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

However.  He says he will try to compete on the 22nd and they might give him the place then.  Isnt rio deadline on the 18th? Are they going to name him and have 2 people in 100 and 200 if he cant go?

From the sounds of it Jamaica allows for a medical exemption so he will go to the Olympics.

Jamaica allows a medical exemption only for those ranked in the top 3 in the world at the time of the trials.

Bolt is fine with the 100 but he has no ranking this year in the 200m.

Rules say he's not allowed to compete in the 200 in Rio (unless Jamaica change the rules)

 

UPDATE

Been told the 2015 ranking will count for Bolt. He just has to prove fitness before July 18
