Douma-Hussar Ousted in Canadian Trials 1500 Final

In what will in all likelihood be her final chance to return to an Olympic Games, 2004 Canadian 1500 meter Olympian Carmen Douma-Hussar failed yesterday in Calgary to make the team for London. She finished 6th in the 1500 meter final. Canada will send to the London Games Hilary Stellingwerff and Nicole Sifuentes, the only women in the top three finishers to have beaten the Olympic "A" standard of 4:06.00 in the designated period.
