Re: Pre DL-SPm: Reese HOFFA 21.81 WL

hoffa at this point is the front runner over storl, majewski and armstrong. i think whiting can do well in the games if he makes the us team. cantwell, nelson and the rest have their work cut out for themselves.

Apparently you haven't been paying close enough attention to this event in the last 8 years. NO ONE is the favorite, because ANY ONE of about 7 or 8 could EASILY win on THAT day. That's just how the event has been. :P

Pick a name, any name!

Dylan Armstrong
Andrei Mikhnevich
Adam Nelson
Reese Hoffa
Christian Cantwell
David Storl
Ryan Whiting
Tomasz Majewski

I've never seen Armstrong this solid. All six throws longer than Majewski's second best.

Armstrong is currently on a massive world tour right now. Check his schedule over the last few weeks. He's been flying multiple time zones every couple days almost.

Hoffa's set was equally solid; his 'foul' was deliberate, although the distance I had guessed to be about 21.40

Re: Pre DL-SPm:
