Nice!! Igor Paklin's technique and Ivan Ukhov's moxie have evidently collided in the juggernaut of a high jumper named Igor Ukhov (#1 on form chart)!! Ha, that's funny dude.

If there is any justice in this World (which probably there isn't...) Rybakov will finally get a World gold. He has way too many silvers already... Ivan can wait for his turn - maybe in a showdown with Silnov at next years' Europeans...

[tupeke]

I really want Ukhov to smash everyone, he is a cool cat. Rybakov always seems to be there or abouts, but again I don't think he'll do enough to grab top spot. Would be really cool if home-town hero Spank gets himself a medal.

"Igor" is Russian for "Donovan"

[xygo]

Hope Rybakov finally wins and sympa Baba medals!

[LopenUupunut]

"Igor" is Russian for "Donovan"

A most interesting etymological theory. Is the Polish "Tadeusz" also related?

[dreambrother]

I think Baba is going to win. I would prefer Rybakov but he seems to be cursed (for whatever reason) and probably gets another silver. Bronze for someone totally random.

My personal favourite would be Thornblad but he's gonna withdraw or go out in qualies

If Rybakov changes his last three to four strides leading up to his plant, he's a gold medalist. He consistently chops strides though, which negates most of the momentum he's built in the run up.

Agreed. Somewhat like Slesarenko over the last couple of seasons.
I have to go with Ukhov. Don't think Baba can win. He's not where he was a couple of years ago. Thornblad will not be a factor. Hip pain and lack of competitions. I will definitely miss Williams.

2'34 could do it. Baba is capable of that.

Russian winner though, most likely.

When/where did Ukhov go 2.40? I'm fairly sure his PB is 2.35
