In the 1968 (possibly 1972) Olympics, one (possibly two) U.S.
sprinters overslept and missed the qualifying heats of the 100 meter
dash (possibly 200, remote possibility 400).  What were there names
and event and year?
Thanks!

Hi, it was Eddie Hart and Rey Robinson who missed the heats of the
100m at Munich in 1972. There are various accounts of what happened,
