I don't see Ohu winning , hopefully we'll see the best of her in Berlin. I don't see Shericka winning at all, either. In fact, she's second, third, fourth or fifth all the time. I think Sanya will definetely win this one and probably by a big margin. She looks very impressive and fit, never chokes in the circuit, and though she said the jackpot to her is secondary to the WC, she's always been a "go for the money" athlete and her times in Eugene and Berlin suggest that the Golden League is at least a same important goal.
Too bad Novlene is not running today in Oslo. She looked great in the 400 in the Jam trials. 50.21 is real good improvement on her previous SB (50.99), even more considering some bad races over 51. So, running 0.78 faster is definetely a good sign. The thing is, will she be able to keep up improving like that to fight for gold in Berlin?, becuause she's still far from this season Sanya's times (although she beat her in early season). Anyway, I think she's a strong contender for a medal
Another interesting athlete missing today is 21 year old European indoor champion Krivoshapka. Keep an eye on her. She just ran a 50.24 PB and considering it's the first time she runs under 51 outdoor we still don't know her limits. She may be not that experienced, but who knows, might be a threat for a medal in Berlin.
