>Anyone have any idea how he is progressing? The article from April 29th quotes him... "My goal is to stay healthy and make the team in June," he said. "I'll slowly pick and choose my spots. I may open at the Trials."... that will keep us all wondering.<

'American sprint star Tyson Gay has decided against vying for a sprint double at the 2012 London Games this summer, and will instead focus his Olympic-year efforts on the 100 meters. "I've had some minor setbacks with nagging injuries," Gay told ESPN.com on Friday at The National Training Center. "I've been taking it slower, and I don't have the same quality (of training) I wanted to do the double." Gay ended his 2011 season last July when he underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn labrum muscle in his hip. He said that injury is fully healed, but adductor muscle strains and inflammation around his pubic bone have forced him to stop his training twice since November, and his schedule doesn't allow enough time to prepare for both the 100 and 200. "Since then, it's been more or less taking it slow," he said. Patience doesn't come easily for Gay, who doubled as world champion in the 100 and 200 in 2007. But this Olympic year is different, so much so that he may not even race before the Olympic trials, which begin the last week of June in Eugene, Ore.'
