 Provisional Olympic team after Day 1 (3 athletes)

 

US will send as big of a team as possible, so should three athletes not reach the entry standard in an event (likely for the women’s 10000m and triple jump), they would select the highest ranked athletes on the Road to Paris.

 

This article does a good job at explaining it. 
 

Men

 

Track

10000m - Grant Fisher, Woody Kincaid, Nico Young

49.71 in the women’s 400m semifinals for  Kaylyn Brown 

 

 Alexis Holmes will have to wait to see if her 50.19 is good enough for one of the non-automatic Q’s. 
 

Edit: She survives.

According to Wikipedia, the top 3 in the Women's triple jump final tonight will make it as only 9 athletes in total have the entry standard.

Well yeah, it’s pretty likely that 3 US women will qualify through the Road to Paris, but given that it’s not official yet I decided not to include it.
