EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — From the pictures she’s seen through a virtual tour, Sanya Richards-Ross has a beautiful new home in Jacksonville, Fla., awaiting her arrival.

She’s looking forward to moving into the place her husband, Aaron Ross, a recently signed defensive back for the Jaguars, picked out for the power couple.

Only, it won’t be anytime soon.

Richards-Ross has no spare time to even think about packing and relocating from her training center in Austin, Texas. Not this close to the London Olympics and especially not now, after adding the 200-meter race to her signature event, the 400.

With all the focus on Allyson Felix possibly attempting the 200-400 double this week at Olympics trials, Richards-Ross will instead be the sprinter attempting the difficult endeavor.
