World champion Tyson Gay's dream of an Olympics double ended in pain when he crashed out of the U.S. 200 meters quarter-finals on Saturday.
Already qualified for Beijing in the 100 meters, Gay had run only 12 strides, about 40 meters, of the 200 meters when he grabbed at his left hamstring and tumbled to track with a severe cramp.
He lay there for several minutes before he was taken away from the facility in a cart.
Gay had won the 100 meters last Sunday in a wind-assisted time of 9.68 seconds, the fastest time ever run under any conditions. He had set the national record of 9.77 seconds the previous day.
