Dead Heat

This June 23 file photo provided by USA Track & Field shows the third-place finish of the women's 100-meter final from a photo-finish camera, shot at 3,000-frames-per-second, during the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Ore. Allyson  Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh, in foreground, finished in a dead heat for the last U.S. spot in the 100 to the London Games, each leaning across the finish line in 11.068 seconds. Felix is defending her decision to not step aside and give training partner Tarmoh a spot in the 100 meters at the Olympics after their dead heat at the U.S. trials.
