An experienced athletics team featuring seven current world champions and a host of medals favourites will represent the United States in next month's Beijing Olympics, USA Track & Field announced on Monday. The 126-member squad includes Athens 2004 Olympic gold medallists Jeremy Wariner (400m) and Shawn Crawford (200m), double world champions Tyson Gay and Bernard Lagat.
The Americans last won gold in the men's 200m in the 2004 Olympics, when Shawn Crawford led home a US clean sweep, and they look capable of repeating that.
