The 100-meter dash begins with a pistols fire and ends just seconds later. Camo Colts Jerseys . But the road to the Olympics in this event is much, much longer.It takes years of practice and training and races. And as fast as you might be, to make the U.S. Olympic team, you must go to the track and field trials held barely a month ahead of the Games. You must run a race one afternoon against some of the best sprinters in the country and finish among the top three, or be among the very fastest who did not in five preliminary heats. And then you must run again the next day and also finish among the top qualifiers in the semis. And then, shortly afterward, you must go to the line again, take your position in the starting blocks, listen for that gun to fire -- then race down the track and finish among the top three.If you do, youre going to the Olympics to represent your country and try for a gold medal. If you dont, you can either give up your Olympic dreams or train and fight and run four more years to get to that starting line to hear that pistol fire again.Whats it like? Heres a look at the 100-meter run and the great athletes who ran it at the U.S. track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon. When English Gardner didnt make the Olympic team at the 2012 U.S. trials, she went to her car and cried her eyes out. As she positioned herself in the starting blocks at the current trials, she was determined to run fast -- and walk off happy, proud and an Olympian. Justin Gatlin won gold in the 100 at the 2004 Olympics. He is now 34, his hair is graying and his reputation has been tainted by two PED suspensions. But he is still running fast and shooting for gold in Rio. Joe Morris says you almost hold your breath during the 100. After advancing in a heat, he also probably was holding his breath in hopes that he would be one of the top three fastest sprinters so as to qualify for the Olympic team. The road to Rio is not an easy one. It is a road that begins many years before you place your feet in the starting blocks at trials, at which point your destination might be reached in 100 meters -- or your road ended. As we see the shadowy forms of women sprinters in one of the 100 semis, the questions are: Who will advance to the finals, and who will go on to Rio? Tyson Gay has the second-fastest time in history in the 100 and has been on two Olympic teams. But he has never medaled and he will not run the 100 in Rio after finishing fifth at these trials. Starting off fast is one thing in the 100, but finishing faster -- and stronger -- is more important. English Gardner had the form midway through the final. But did she have the finish, as well? Jenna Prandini had her fingers on the track and her hopes high in her heart, but she did not finish in the top three and qualify for the 100 in Rio. Shalonda Solomon crosses the finish line to advance in an early 100 heat. Unfortunately, she was not able to do so in the semifinals. Justin Gatlin says that, at 60 or 70 meters, its all about running strong, fast and tall. If you think too much, then Youre reaching for something that isnt there. Trayvon Bromell (bottom) says just keep your knees up and keep going. (Audio Trayvon Bromell) Justin Gatlin won the 100 final in 9.8, the fastest time in the world this year. I got down on one knee after I crossed the finish line and was crying inside. (Audio Justin Gatlin) Tori Bowie was happy when she advanced to the final in the 100. She was even happier when she finished third in the final to qualify for her first Olympic team. As glorious and happy as the Olympic trials can be for the qualifiers, it can be devastating for the ones who fall short. Jeff Demps knew that feeling after losing in a 100 heat. Yes, English Gardner did, winning the 100 final in 10:74, the second-fastest in the world this year, edging Tianna Bartoletta (center) and Tori Bowie (right). With the help of these ladies, we were able to give the show that we promised from the beginning. Tori Bowie reflects during a moment in the sun. Since 2012, Ive been saying that whatever happened today, Im going to be thankful. Is Justin Gatlin pointing to the crowd after his win or pointing toward Rio? My family had their tickets, so it put the pressure on me to make sure I punch my ticket. After crossing the line to win, English Gardner quickly thought back to crying in the car in 2012. This time, any tears were those of happiness. Marvin Bracy was clearly delighted to make the Olympic team with his third-place finish. It was so emotional, though, By the time I get back to the hotel, Ill probably break down in tears. (Audio Trayvon Bromell) Tianna Bartoletta not only qualified for Rio in the 100 but also will compete there in the long jump, something very few women have done in the Olympics. As hard as running the 100 is, adding the long jump might be even more impressive. Zaire Franklin Stitched Jersey . Self was acquired from the Buffalo Bandits in a trade for Alex Hill midway through last season, and made his debut in Rochester on March 16, 2013. Youth Colts Jerseys . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. http://www.officialcoltsnflauthenticshop.com/matth...ed-jers ey/ . At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014.The Vitality Netball Superleague semi-finals are coming up, so we asked England captain Ama Agbeze to answer key questions about Saturdays matches. Reigning champions Surrey Storm will take on Hertfordshire Mavericks in a repeat of last years Grand Final, while Manchester Thunder will face Team Bath, with both matches being shown live on Sky Sports.Loughborough Lightnings Agbeze, who will join our Sky Sports experts, has given her verdict on both matches and makes a prediction about the eventual title winners. Who are the favourites? Manchester Thunder finished top of the Superleague table People are billing Manchester Thunder as their favourites to win, but I dont necessarily think they will. I think the favourite tag is based on their form and the players they have in their squad. They have been building as the season has gone on and they are at the peak of their confidence. Other teams are probably thinking: we have been beaten by them, or we havent had the best games against them. They will go into the finals with a psychological edge and other teams will also have that on their minds, which could have an impact on how they perform.Who is the surprise package? Team Bath ended the season strongly ahead of their semi-final in Manchester Team Bath again have that confidence and belief, irrespective of who is on court. Their coach Anna Stembridge has instilled that in them. I just think they will surprise a few people. On any given day, Team Bath have got the potential to beat any of the teams in the semi-finals.Can Surrey keep their title? Surrey Storm are two wins away from retaining the Superleague trophy They are the team that Im backing more. They have that good ability to analyse the opposition, even before they get to the game. Their analysis is really good and they know exactly what theyre doing. Their game plans change weekly and they know how to play as a team before they step on the court. It will be a case of whether they can perform to that game plan for a whole 60 minutes, or extra-time if it goes that way. Going on their performances this season, their consistency, I think Surrey can retain their title.Players to watchManchester Thunder: Laura Malcolm, who has been named as the vice-captain for England, is a really consistent performer. Shes so good on defence. Shes got even better this season and her driving attack is really good. Sometimes she plays centre and fits well into their system. Laura Malcolm has impressed the England selectors Hertfordshire Mavericks: Sophie Carter. She reads the game really well. Sophie is part of a strong overall team at Hertfordshire. Across the board, they all work so well together as a team, but if I had to pick out someone - it would be Sophie as he she is a key player for Mavericks. Sophie Carter (right) has proved her worth to Hertfordshire Mavericks Surrey Storm: Georgia Lees. Tyquan Lewis Stitched Jersey. She doesnt usually start every game, but she always makes a big impact when she comes on. She plays similarly to Tamsin Greenway. I dont know if she naturally plays like Tamsin or whether Tamsin as a coach has rubbed off on her. Surrey Storms Georgia Lees is one of the exciting young talents in the Superleague Its just subtle things that she does. She does not do everything at 100 miles per hour. She will be stood next to a defender and then suddenly will appear on the circle edge. Her subtle movement and play is key. Lees was voted Player of the Match as her side defeated Team Northumbria 45-58. Team Bath: They again are a team that have a general collection of good, solid performers. I think Mia Ritchie has had a number of good performances, but Im going for Joanna Vann. She is a good, consistent player, who makes the connection between attack and defence. Ama Agbeze on Joanna Vann She is a good, consistent player, who makes the connection between attack and defence. She is very good defensively. Who will win the Superleague title? Coach Dan Ryan will be hoping to mastermind a title win for Manchester Thunder Im torn between Storm and Thunder. As I said, Bath on the day could be good, but I just dont think they will reach those levels. Thunder and Storm is a battle of confidence and belief. I want the Storm to win and all my Thunder friends are going to hate me, but I do think Thunder are going to pip them to the post. Their attack is really good, Ellie Cardwell is a really strong upcoming shooter, and the shooting is pretty consistent. Generally Manchesters attack is very hard to beat. It will be a competitive game, but Thunder will be the team in front at the end.
