Apparently, Houlihan is still gonna race pending whatever court injunctions and appeals processes are left for her. That's gonna be super awkward for everybody involved, but she's fast so it'll also make a good race.

Any of you dummies wanna try and pick the Olympic team? Fields are here:

Here are my picks. If you disagree with them without making your own, then you're a coward and an asshole. Respect the discourse.

100m:
Women - Richardson, Hobbs, Sturgis*
Men - Bromell, Gatlin, Baker

*NCAA pop-ups are a tough pick because they've been hitting it hard since January, but it's not like it's THAT uncommon.

200m:
women - Gabby Thomas, Richardson, Brown
men - Lyles, Bednarek, Laird#

#does anybody know if Joe Fahnbulleh is a citizen? It's a common Liberian name, but he grew up here and I think he's raced for the US in some junior events. Weird that he's not entered.

women - Ellis, Irby, Felix^
men - Norman, Cherry, Deadmon

^fine, I'm sentimental.
