Nobody had a busier day at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials than Tianna Bartoletta.

The world champion in long jump secured her Olympic berth in that event, which was going on at the same time as her 100-meter qualifying heats. She advanced to the semifinals in the 100.

Bartoletta petitioned for a schedule change to no avail. So, she changed her entire practice routine to get ready. On an 83-degree day in Eugene, Oregon, she took one jump before running in the 100, passed for two rounds, then came back and jumped again.
