Photos of Angelo Taylor on the ground, medics approaching with a stretcher, caused some observers to panic. Angelo waved off the medical staff and asked for water as he lay on the ground. Truth be told, Angelo has been dealing with injuries for the past few months but is determined to compete.

Day 3 of the IAAF World Championships begins the running activities for Angelo Taylor. Taylor will be competing in the 400m Hurdles and 4X400 Relay team. These World Championships come with lots of anxiety for the competitors; with the London 2012 Olympics less that a year away, top performers at this event will be heavy favorites at next summer’s Olympics. Taylor is expected to garner gold medals on the biggest stages of track & field.
Taylor is favored by most track analysts to win Gold Medals in the 400m Hurdles and 4X400 Relay in Daegu, Korea. Despite finishing third in a photo finish at the USA Outdoor Championships in June, track observers point to the good season that Taylor has had in both the VISA and Samsung Diamond Leagues. Post USA Outdoor Championships, Taylor ran well in the weeks to follow in Lausanne, Switzerland, Monte Carlo, Monaco, Stockholm, Sweden, and London, England. Taylor’s experience and ability to get up for the big races gives him an edge over the competition.
Angelo Books His Spot in Worlds
by Devon Jeffreys
In the most closely contested race of this year's U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships, Angelo Taylor secured his spot on the U.S. team for this summer's World Championships.
A photo finish Sunday afternoon at the U.S. Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon saw Angelo, Bershawn Jackson and Jeshua Anderson cross the finish line almost simultaneously at the end of a tight 400-meters of hurdling.
After the finishes were sorted out, AT took third in a time of 47.94, just a hundredth of a second behind Anderson in first and Jackson in second. All three men qualified for the U.S. National team and the trio will head to the World Championships in Daegu, South Korea in August looking to sweep the medal stand.
"I'm just blessed to make another team. It's definitely a blessing," Angelo told Flotrack after the race. "It's been a trying week. My hamstring cramped up on me Tuesday before coming out here. It's been really tight, we've just been giving it a lot of therapy, trying to get that thing loosened up."
