Gay vs. Bolt in the 200m won't happen

BERLIN - Tyson Gay is pulling out of the 200-meter competition at the world championships because of a groin injury, preventing a rematch with Usain Bolt. The decision was announced Monday by U.S. track and field officials.

Gay finished second to Bolt in the 100 after the Jamaican won in a world-record 9.58 seconds Sunday. Gay set an American mark at 9.71 but was still a few strides behind Bolt.

Gay has been plagued by the groin injury in recent weeks. He's still leaving open the option of running in the 400-meter relay.
