EUGENE, Ore. -- Dawn Harper-Nelson won gold in the 100-meter hurdles at the 2008 Olympics and silver at the 2012 Olympics. But not only will she not be running the 100 hurdles in Rio, she did not even reach the final in that event at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials Friday.Racing in the second of three heats in the semifinals, Harper-Nelson finished third with a time of 13.01 seconds. The top two in each heat of that event advance to the final, with the next two fastest times going as well for eight total. But Harper-Nelson finished ninth, just one one-hundredth of a second behind Sharika Nelvis.Tears are going to come. But right now Im just in shock, Harper-Nelson said. Im going to go through anger, more disbelief. Frustration. Confusion. I dont know what is going on. I just dont believe it. Jesus, I dont believe it!Harper-Nelson was not the only one who had trouble believing Fridays results. Queen Harrison has five of the top 10 times in the world in the 100 hurdles this year, but she didnt finish in the top three in the final to qualify for Rio. Jasmin Stowers and Nelvis also had top-10 world times, but they didnt qualify, either.All the girls that are here can contend for a medal in Rio, so its unfortunate that the way the rules go you can only send three, Harrison said. Because we have the best hurdlers in the world, bar none. But thats just the way the cookie crumbles.It crumbled for Shamier Little as well. Little had the fastest time in the womens 400 hurdles this year, but she did not qualify for the final in her event. She had the sixth-fastest time of the day at 55.64 seconds but did not advance to the final because she finished fifth in her heat and only the top four from each heat advanced.Meanwhile, three hurdlers did end Friday with bright smiles. Brianna Rollins, who has three of the top 10 times in the world this year, won the 100 hurdles final with a time of 12.34, followed by Kristi Castlin and Nia Ali.I guess were the best in the country, the best in the world, Rollins said. Its really strong. I look forward to competing with those ladies. Hopefully all three of us will be on top of the medal stand.Asked who the favorite in Rio is, Harper-Nelson immediately replied: Dawn Harper! before laughing and quickly adding. No, I just want to see these girls run well, so they can represent us -- I cant believe Im saying that. Someone else to represent us?What was it like for the two-time Olympian to not even qualify for the final?It was weird. I was watching myself, like Come on! What are you doing? Come on! Harper-Nelson said. I went through some issues in the warmup. I jammed my hip on my trailing side, but I didnt think it would affect me like that in the race. Ive never been in a position where someone is pulling away and I wasnt able to react. I was saying to myself, What, you cant go?Ive been blessed to have a very consistent career. Ive seen it happen to others, but one one-hundredth? Really? Its a dagger in the heart. But it comes with the territory. You see so many people cry about finishing in fourth place and not making the team. But ninth is like Dude! Who gets ninth, Dawn?Harper-Nelson, 32, said she isnt sure whether this will be her last attempt at the Olympics, though she will continue to compete.Im definitely a hungry individual when it comes to the hurdles, she said. I dont even want to hear what my coach [Bobby Kersee] has to say. Of course hes going to be nice, Hey, Im here for you. Hell have to console me because Ill be crying. But hell know it was just because I didnt execute this year. Wholesale Fashion Shoes . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. Wholesale Shoes China Free Shipping . No. 13-seeded John Isner and No. 21 Philipp Kohlschreiber were among six players who dropped out of the tournament on Tuesday, joining No. 12 seed Tommy Haas and two other players who withdrew on Monday. http://www.wholesaleshoesfashion.com/ . And when it opened, every player was at his stall. Thats a sure sign that a team is in a slump and is searching for answers. "Its embarrassing to be at home and play the way we did," said defenceman Josh Gorges. Cheap Fashion Shoes Wholesale . "I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. Cheap China Shoes Wholesale . Woodson said during a radio interview Thursday that the Knicks Carmelo Anthony doesnt get the same calls as other superstars. A SNAPSHOT OF ROUND FOUR IN THE A-LEAGUETHEY SAID IT:What I saw in that first half was something I hope I never see again. This is for me quite simply pathetic by someone like Neil Kilkenny. Its not our way. Its not in our culture to do this and act this way as well. You dont want your kids to ask you: Is this what the games about? - Fox Sports pundit Mark Rudan spoke for many in his criticism of play-acting by Melbourne Citys Neil Kilkenny.STAT THAT MATTERS:Josh Risdon is only 24 but on Sunday he became Perth Glorys most capped A-League player, playing his 120th game for the club in their clash against Brisbane Roar. Hes still a long way behind ex-skipper Jamie Harnwell for total club appearances (256) but its a reflection of just how much theyve leaned on the fringe Socceroo in recent seasons.MAN OF THE ROUND:If you were thinking, for whatever reason, Bruno Fornarolis incredible debut A-League season might have been in some way a fluke, or unlikely to be repeated, think again. With new strike partner Tim Cahill rested, the Uruguayan helped himself to a sublime double in Friday nights win over Adelaide and is back to his free-scoring ways.SAFEST HANDS:There are few tighter in--house battles in the A-League than Michael Theo and Jamie Youngs weekly wrangle for Brisbanes No.dddddddddddd1 jersey. But it looks Theos to lose after an assured performance in an otherwise forgettable round for glovemen against Perth Glory on Sunday.CONTROVERSY CORNER:Another week, another clear penalty not given to the Central Coast Mariners. Paul Okons men might have had a shot at victory against Western Sydney had referee Shaun Evans spotted a handball by Jack Clisby, who blocked a cross from Trent Buhagiar. Instead a sarcastic Okon was left asking when things will finally start falling their way.UNDER PRESSUREAfter losing so many key players in the off-season, an injury crisis is precisely not what Adelaide United needed. The defending champions have just one point after four rounds and their lack of attacking depth without Marcelo Carrusca (foot), Sergio Cirio (knee) and Henrique (knee) is a worry. Coach Guillermo Amor wont be panicking - particularly not after climbing off the bottom to win last years title - but he will be very frustrated. ' ' '
