Normally, the top three finishers at trial events make the U.S. Olympic team. But they can do so only if they also reached the Olympic qualifying mark within the past year. Unfortunately, none of the U.S. hammer throwers has met that mark of 77 meters.There are 32 Olympic slots in the mens hammer throw. So far, 22 athletes worldwide have reached the qualifying minimum of 77 meters. The IAAF has the choice of filling out the field and of which non-qualifying throwers to pick. Although U.S. track and field representatives said who and how many will be chosen is up in the air, Johnson and McCullough expressed confidence that they can and will go to Rio.Its tough, its tough, McCullough said. Its going to be a long few days here leading into when they announce the final list.dddddddddddd Im in a good spot, but its going to be a long wait.Johnson has the best non-qualifying mark, at 76.95, with McCullough two slots below him at 76.91. Winklers winning mark Wednesday ranks 28th overall.Its a bit frustrating, but Im still ranked pretty well with my marks from last year, Johnson said. But of course, you definitely want to hit that mark.McCullough is trying to duplicate his fathers feat of making the Olympic team, which Conor McCullough Sr. did for Ireland in 1984 and 1988.Im confident, I would say, but you never know what can happen the last few events, McCullough said. People can come out of nowhere, and marks can show up who knows where.Winkler, who is in college at Cornell, didnt seem too worried.It hasnt really sunk in that I might not go, he said. Im not really too concerned with that. I know Im going to keep competing. It would be unfortunate if I dont get to go this time, but Ill keep competing for 2020 and possibly 2024. Im going to be around for a while. ' ' ' |
