American bantamweight Gary Russell Jr. will miss the Olympics after collapsing Thursday night while trying to make weight. Russell is two-time national champion and one of the top medal hopes for the U.S. team. He is resting after he collapsed in a last-ditch workout to reach the 119-pound limit. He was removed for the US team's list of competitors before Friday's draw.
