Beijing 2008 Olympic 100 metres hurdles champion Dawn Harper-Nelson has been handed a three-month suspension by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) following a positive test.

Olympic hurdles medallists Mark Crear and Dawn Harper-Nelson represented Los Angeles 2024 at parade coinciding with the 32nd Martin Luther King Jr Day in the American city.

Los Angeles 2024 have released a video of 12,800 new students moving into University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) accommodation over a single weekend, in a bid to highlight the ability to use the facilities as an Athletes’ Village for the Olympic Games.

The unique depth of American talent in the women’s 100 metre hurdles meant that the US Olympic Track and Field Trials were going to be painful for some world class athletes - and as things turned out, it was the athlete who ran the second fastest ever time of 12.24sec on the same track in Eugene on May 28, Keri Harrison, who failed to make the trip to Rio de Janeiro next month.
