Olympic Track Trials

In one women's race for the Olympic track trials-I believe it was the 100 meterr dash-two people tied, exactly!! My dad read in the newspaper that they were going to flip a coin. Last night ont while we were watching gymnastics, they said they would be doing a run off! I was happy because that seems that a more fair way to do it. BTW, they tied for third. And one is younger, and the other one is older.
