The penultimate day of competition at the Paris 2024 U.S. Track and Field Trials ushered in the final stage of the U.S. Track and Field Trials on June 30, 2024, Beijing time, before the 100-meter trapeze battle was quite fierce. And this 200-meter trapeze battle is also exciting. In the end, the women's 200m was won by Thomas, while the men's 200m was won by Lyles.
In the women's 200m trapeze competition, Thomas undoubtedly became the big dark horse in this competition. Thomas's time of 21.81 seconds was not ideal in the starting stage, but his loyalty and back-up power gradually widened the gap between him and other competitors, and the American veteran Richardson was fourth in the fourth place, which also made him miss out on the Paris Olympics. Like Holman, he was not included in the list of individual entries. The American sprint is still full of strong competitiveness, and many famous athletes have missed the Paris Olympics, which also makes them feel that the American track and field is changing very quickly. In the semifinals of the women's 400m hurdles, American star McClallin easily won the first place, and finally advanced to the final. In addition, in the men's 200m, Lyles is undoubtedly the absolute king of this event, and he also has a chance to challenge for the double title of the Paris Olympics in the 100m and 200m.
Lyles won the championship with a time of 19.53 seconds in the men's 200m competition and showed his kingly style, and in the future, if he can win the championship with the United States team in the relay event, Lyles still has a good chance to match the previous Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt's great performance and hit the triple crown in a single Olympic Games. In addition, in the women's 10,000-meter competition, American Cleti finally won the final championship. With a time of 31:41.07, Cletty is still looking forward to winning a medal for the U.S. in the 10,000-meter race, despite the fact that there is still a gap between him and the African players.
In addition, in the women's shot put duel, the American star Jackson's score broke through the 20-meter mark, and the final championship was 20.1 meters, and finally won the championship of this trial, and is also expected to fight for the United States team in the next Paris Olympics to fight for a medal in women's shot put. In addition, Evans won the men's discus throw throw, and his time was 66 meters. Evans won the men's discus throw with a score of 66.61m, and the U.S. team will have a hard time winning the gold medal in the men's discus throw, hoping that more athletes will qualify for the Paris final.
