EUGENE -- Heading into the U.S. Olympic Trials, some observers were ready to hit the panic button on American sprinters.
America's golden girl Allyson Felix, expected to attempt the 200 meter/400 meter double in Rio, had her training derailed by a serious ankle injury just two months before the Trials.
Justin Gatlin wasn't running up to his blistering 2015 early season times. Trayvon Bromell, the new American sprint phenom, suffered an injury that some were calling career threatening.
Meanwhile in Jamaica, their rivals were running promising times. Usain Bolt seemed to be rounding into form, while Yohan Blake began showing glimpses of his former self.
