Richards and Jones Have Rough Finals

The string of bad luck for the United States track and field team continued on Tuesday.

Sanya Richards, the favorite in the 400 meters, finished third after suffering an apparent hamstring injury during the last 80 meters of her race.

“I don’t even want to tell you what I’m thinking right now, because it’s not positive,” she said. “I feel so betrayed right now by my body. It’s so discouraging.”

And LoLo Jones, who was winning the 100-meter hurdles finals, hit the next to last hurdle, dropping her from the lead to a disappointing seventh place finish.

Luckily, U.S. teammate Dawn Harper was able to benefit from the opportunity and take home the gold.

Unfortunately, since NBC seems content on showing volleyball during their dayitme coverage, you can’t watch these races until their primetime coverage this evening.

Good luck staying awake to watch it.
