Olympic Trials

Eugene hosts the 2024 Olympic Track and Field Trials starting Friday. The eight-day competition determines who will represent Team USA in Paris later this summer.

The most anticipated race with the U.S. Olympic track and field trials coming down the homestretch in Eugene may be the women’s 400-meter hurdles.

Shelby Houlihan, the American record holder in the 1,500 and 5,000 meters, posted on social media that she’s been banned for four years following a positive test for what she concluded was a pork burrito.

Despite recent tragedies in Orlando, Istanbul and now Dallas, the security personnel at the Olympic Trials in Eugene must balance vigilance with openness.
