A few shocks from the US trials this time.

British Trials are next week. I can't see Team GB being that full tbh, since selectors have been extra harsh this year. First of all, you need 2 A Standards AND Top 2 at the trials to achieve auto selection. If you fail to reach top 2, you can only be selected if you have a realistic chance at making the final in Rio. Selectors also get final say over IAAF invitations, so someone who doesn't win the Trials but is high enough in the world rankings to receive an invite from IAAF to fill up remaining spots could still get rejected if selectors don't see enough potential in them. Men's middle distance in particular is looking likely that no one will be sent. Also, if you plan to compete at the Euro Juniors or U23s, then you aren't allowed to compete in that same event at Beijing

I'm going on Friday and Saturday to watch, but all the main finals will be on Sunday (which is the only day being televised by the BBC).
