im confused about exactly how the us team is selected. i was under the impression that regardless of standards, the winner automatically gets a spot on the team; case in point being bobby smith in the javelin. can someone clarify this for me please.

"There's never been a moment where I was thinking I wasn't going to make this team. I mean, I've been training for Bejing since '04. It hasn't even sunk in yet. I really don't know what just happened. All I know is that I'm not on the team right now and I'm one of the best throwers in the world."
