WC Winners 'contest'

[tafnut]

Who's willing to go public with their Gold predictions? Use a registered name and you only get one try. Will see who has board bragging rights. Here's mine:
Men
100 Chambers
200 Kederis
400 Washington
800 Borzakovsky
1500 El Guerouj
St Shaheen
5 Kibowen
10 Bekele

110H A Johnson
400H Sanchez
20W Fernandez
50W Korzenkowski

4x4 USA
HJ Holm

Women

This differs from T&FN by 11 names, but when they update their site, the difference will be down to about 7 or 8.

Put your predictions to good use by entering the WCh prediction contest on http://www.athleticslinks.com/contest.html

There's a prize to be won!!

Re: WC Winners 'contest'

As I said in another thread, there are currently FIVE contests out there now. This was my call-out to my fellow posters for a 'Message Board' championship. I guess no one else is awake or they haven't sat down to fill out their form chart yet.

Re: WC Winners 'contest'

Here ya go...I have to admit that, on some of them that were a "toss-up", I just went against tafnut's (and/or T&FN's) picks--to make things interesting. BUT that was only on the one's that I really didn't have a good guess for. Most of these I'm pretty confident in (provided they are still scheduled to compete in Paris).

Are you actually going to do the scoring for this 'contest' and announce the results afterwards?

Re: WC Winners 'contest'

Absofreakinlutely. I'm not too worried - there won't even be 10 entries. BWAAAACK! Whoever the winner is, I will start a thread entitled "[Yourname] is THE Track Expert" and you will enjoy fame and glory until the thread goes south.

Re: WC Winners 'contest'

Hey AS: Radcliffe is not in the UK team. She declined.

Re: WC Winners 'contest'

Tafnut, what a hoot. I love this thread and hope you're even close. Anyway, good luck to all of you track jocks with your predictions for Paris. I have no predictions! I just enjoy ready the competition.
