Olympic trials tie breaker called off




















Unless one athlete declines her position, the runners will decide between a run-off and a coin toss. If they can't come to an agreement, a run-off will occur. If they don't have a preference? A coin toss. Either way, the decision must be made and a team finalized by the end of the trials on Sunday, July 1. Former world champion Felix and her lesser-known training partner Tarmoh were notified of the new tie-breaking process on Sunday, Geer said.

Officials will work with the two and their coach, Bobby Kersee, to decide what's next. But Felix and Tarmoh can't get caught up in the tiebreaker just yet, as they have another race, the , coming up Thursday. Felix is a three-time world champion and Olympic silver medalist in the event; Tarmoh placed third in it at the U. The weekend's debacle threw the two into an emotional waiting game and left onlookers wondering how it could have occurred in the first place.

Jacobs and Koe will square off in the semifinal, a rematch of their Draw 14 game. Jacobs cruised to an victory over Koe, where the Sault Ste. Marie team curled at a 93 percent clip. However, a month before the trials, Koe defeated Jacobs at the Western Showdown, setting up an epic rubber match between two veterans.

Awaiting the winner of Jacobs and Koe is Gushue, looking to get back to the Olympics for the first time in 16 years. Gushue dominated Koe in his second game while squeaking out a victory against Jacobs in extra ends.

By Lukas Weese. Three consecutive missed vaults, at any height or combination of heights, will eliminate the vaulter from the competition. The victory goes to the vaulter who clears the greatest height during the final. If two or more vaulters tie for first place, the tie-breakers are: 1 The fewest misses at the height at which the tie occurred, and 2 The fewest misses throughout the competition.

If the event remains tied, the vaulters have a jump-off, beginning at the next greater height. Each vaulter has one attempt. The bar is then alternately lowered and raised until only one vaulter succeeds at a given height. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.
