Six more trips to Tokyo are up for grabs on Day 2 of U.S. track and field Olympic trials.
Sha´Carri Richardson is the one to watch in the women´s 100. Valarie Allman comes into women´s discus finals following a meet record in qualifying.
Saturday also marks the opening day of the decathlon, and the men´s 100-meter preliminaries. In those races, Noah Lyles faces a deep field as he tries to earn one of the three spots and keep alive his quest for the 100-200 double in Tokyo.
On Day 1 of the trials, Ryan Crouser broke a 31-year-old shot put world record in the finals. It sets up what could be one of the best showdowns in track and field: Crouser, the defending Olympic champion, versus Joe Kovacs, the defending world champion, who finished second in Friday´s event.
