No More Speed Training

Tyson Gay will not be performing any speed training workouts for at least 2 weeks. Gay who suffered a left hamstring strain as he tumbled to the track during the US Olympic Track and Field Trials.

"He's making preparations for the call in Beijing. I'm very confident he's going to be in place when they say, 'On your marks,'" said US men's Olympic athletics coach Bubba Thornton.

Gay will be resting for about 14 days than will head out to Europe to get a couple of meets in and tune up before heading to the Olympics. His rest will be more of an active recovery before starting up his full training where he will continue his top speed training.

With world record holder Usain Bolt and previous world record holder Asafa Powell already running fast, Gay needs to be 100% to be able to contend for the gold or even the bronze. the question is right now, how much did the muscle strain set Tyson Gay back?
