EUGENE, Ore. -- Consider this a second chance for Tyson Gay. Maybe his last one, too.The 33-year-old sprinter was handed a spot on the U.S. Olympic track team as a relay runner Monday, more than two years after his doping positive cost the Americans their silver medal from the 2012 Games.Gay dominated the sprints for a time before Usain Bolt burst onto the scene in 2008. The American is still ranked second all-time behind Bolt with a time of 9.69 seconds in the 100.But the last several years have been a struggle, filled with injuries and setbacks -- none bigger than a positive doping test in 2013 that cost him one year out of the sport and forced the relay team to surrender its medal.Gay finished fifth in the 100 and sixth in the 200 at the recently completed Olympic trials, but coaches stuck to the order of finish for the 100 meters, taking Gay and sixth-place finisher Christian Coleman, along with Mike Rodgers, whose spot was locked in thanks to his fourth-place finish.In Gay, the U.S. gets a two-time Olympian and 2007 world champion at both 100 and 200 meters -- choosing him over high-schoolers Noah Lyles and Michael Norman, who finished 4-5 in the 200 at trials.Asked before the trials what it would mean to make the team, Gay said: A hell of a lot. Im considered the old one of the bunch now. It definitely means a lot to me to still keep up with these young guys here, use some of my veteran skills to my advantage.Also added for relays on the 127-person team, which includes 84 first-time Olympians, were Arman Hall, Tony McQuay and Kyle Clemons (mens 4x400), Ariana Washington (womens 4x100) and Francena McCorory and Courtney Okolo (womens 4x400).Some other things to know about the U.S. track and field team:LIKE A FINE WINE: At 41, Bernard Lagat is still going strong -- making his fifth Olympic team. The ageless 5,000-meter runner showed just about everyone that age is merely a number. I dont believe Im old, Lagat said. If you believe youre old -- Im going to run like an old man.JUST A KID: For a few days, 18-year-old high jumper Vashti Cunningham was set to be the youngest to compete for the U.S. Olympic track team in four decades. That lasted until 16-year-old Sydney McLaughlin came along and made the team in the 400-meter hurdles and took that distinction. To think, she had a little case of stage fright to begin the trials. It hardly showed as she set the world junior record to finish third and earn her place in Rio. This has to be the icing on the cake, the prep star from New Jersey said. Regardless of what happens in Rio, I made it here and Im just so thankful for all of that.FEEL-GOOD STORY ENDS WELL: 800-meter runner Boris Berian made the team despite an uphill climb -- working at McDonalds after dropping out of college to earn extra money to train and recently winning a lawsuit over Nike over what gear he could wear that nearly kept him off the starting line.FEEL-GOOD STORY ENDS NOT AS WELL: 110-meter hurdler and defending Olympic champion Aries Merritt finished fourth -- missing the team by one spot less than a year after returning from a kidney transplant. He had a positive outlook, though. For me to be where I am is a miracle, said Merritt, who operated at 10 percent kidney function when he captured a bronze medal at the 2015 world championships last summer.DOUBLE DIP: Why stop at one event when you can double? There are plenty of athletes doubling up in Rio, including Galen Rupp (marathon, 10,000 meters), LaShawn Merritt (200, 400), Tianna Bartoletta (100, long jump), Tori Bowie (100, 200) and Justin Gatlin (100, 200). But Molly Huddle, who qualified for the 5,000 and 10,000 meters, was entered only in the 10K. And Allyson Felix, who had designs on a 200-400 double, didnt make the 200 lineup.

Lee Westwood has reiterated his desire to captain Europes Ryder Cup team in 2020, with a stint as vice-captain in Paris in 2018 a likely stepping stone.Westwood has not given up hope of playing against the United States for an 11th time, equalling the record of his first Ryder Cup partner Nick Faldo.The 43-year-old also still needs two and a half points to overtake Faldo as Europes all-time record points scorer in the biennial contest after failing to win any of his three matches in the defeat at Hazeltine a fortnight ago.Westwood admits he tried to wipe the Ryder Cup out of his mind at last weeks Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, but the former world No.1 could not avoid questions on the topic ahead of the British Masters, which gets under way at The Grove on Thursday.I thought it was a good week. I thought both teams played well, said Westwood, who was one of captain Darren Clarkes three wild cards. The Americans did to us what weve been doing to them for the last 20 years.They holed a lot of good putts and probably holed more putts than us. Not a lot in it tee-to-green. It was a good atmospherre to play in, as well, generally, and yeah, I thought it was a good week.ddddddddddddAsked if he still wanted to be European captain at Whistling Straits in 2020, Westwood added: Yeah, I think so. I certainly wouldnt want to be the captain next time around.Thats too soon for me, but I think 2020 is definitely on my radar. There are a lot of candidates for it but Ill be putting my name in the ring for sure. Its something Id like to do.Ive played on 10 and witnessed 10 different forms of captaincy, so Im pretty well qualified to be a captain I would have thought. Ive played a lot in it and Id like to maybe play again, but if I cant play again Id like to do the assistant captains role, [see] what goes on behind the scenes, although I paid a lot of attention to what Darren and the assistant captains were doing this year.I dont think necessarily you have to be an assistant captain [before being captain], but it probably helps. Another angle to see it from, more experience. ' ' '
