Change too late for Michael Johnson at Dallas trials
World track officials won a seven month battle to change the Olympic schedule but the decision came too late for Michael Johnson. Johnson would have sought two gold medals but will compete only in the 200 meters at the U S trials in New Orleans. He said the timing made delaying his plan impossible and he would not postpone his choice. The IAAF expressed surprise and disappointment at the late shift and said the move made them look foolish.
