Heads up: Olympian update 3
By Wade Kwon
Trey Hardee of Vestavia Hills is out of the running for a medal in the decathlon. The Olympic hopeful was in fourth place after seven events, but failed earlier today in three attempts at the pole vault at his starting mark, 4.7m. He’s currently in 26th place out of 27 finalists.
In the ninth event, the javelin throw, he has a DNS, or “Did Not Start.” The final event, the 1500m, takes place later this morning (or evening in Beijing time).
