(Because Fred Smalls and John DeLarosa tied, and also tied by what placing they placed at a contest - they both are qualified for the O)
Congratulations to all that qualified...
We also know that Jay Cutler and Victor Martinez are not competing too...
Press Conference will start on the Thursday at 12 before the Olympia.
