The unprecedented Olympic team runoff between Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh is off.

Tarmoh withdrew from the scheduled two-woman race hours before it was to be aired live in primetime during NBC’s coverage of Olympic trials. The women tied for third in last week’s 100 meters and needed a runoff to determine who would represent the United States in the upcoming London Olympics.

Tarmoh wanted to concede her spot on Sunday, but was told to sleep on the decision by the USA Track and Field officials whose incompetence led to this controversial process. Her agent said Monday that she will not run.

Tarmoh thought she earned the spot immediately after last week’s race. A closer review by the photo official determined that the two had actually tied for the final spot on the team with a time of 11.068.

Because U.S. track had no contingency plan for such a tie, things quickly delved into chaos.
