T&FN OG Picks

[Atticus]

I see the women are on the home page now. Great stuff!

I am a little surprised by (but will not argue with!) some of their Gold picks. What say you?

w200 DAS - so many other big guns there
w5000 Obiri - No to Tsegay and Hassan?
wJT Andrej - she cooled off a lot after her big throw.

Six women can win the w200. You have to pick one of them.

[olorin]

Heptathlon - Laura Ikauniece (ranked eight) is not competing.

[ATK]

w5000 Obiri - No to Tsegay and Hassan?

You think they will both tie for gold?

[KevinR]

I expect a lot of spirited debate in here on these selections. I like seeing the thoughts behind the picks. There are a lot of variables between now and the finals, but these look pretty solid to me.

[Juicy News]

Hassan will win the 5000 over obiri. She has lost 5 times to obiri, but 3:51 and 29.06 is so much better than Obiri.

Hassan, obiri, tsegay.


Also Raveyn Rogers will perform better than Ajee Wilson for sure.

[AS]

Linden Hall (AUS) will be top 5 in the W1500m (and beat her compatriate Hull)

[Atticus]

You think they will both tie for gold?

I certainly think one of them will win (i.e., not Obiri)

Six women can win the w200. You have to pick one of them.

It's a complete hot mess. If you can pick that 1-2-3, you are a witch!

Still more pickable than the mHJ's going to be...

Which event has the clearest podium? Not the order in particular, but the group of three.

Try predicting the m800......

Women's 400 hurdles.

OK

Amos
T Cher
Korir

[AFelixFan]

I think Jackson's 100/200 chances are being severely underrated. Unless injured, she's not leaving Tokyo without an individual sprint medal.

Men's Shot Put is the clearest podium. The two Americans and me!
