Sharrah nabs place on US team in BMX for Rio Olympics (The Associated Press)
If Corben Sharrah was going to miss his sister’s wedding, it had better be for a good reason. Earning a spot in the BMX competition at the Rio Olympics probably suffices. Sharrah earned his spot on the three-man U.S. team on Saturday when he took the lead out of the starting gate at trials, held it through the first corner, then pulled away from David Herman and Justin Posey to secure the automatic berth for the Summer Games.
