Allen could go sub-13 and still lose!

[Weights&Shoes]

I wouldn't sleep on Ortega. I don't see McLeod running a somewhat clean race to win.

[LopenUupunut]

I wouldn't sleep on Ortega. I don't see McLeod running a somewhat clean race to win.

And if McLeod does run a reasonably clean race, Ortega is pretty much the only one in this field who might still beat him.

[Madd Marine]

Allen could go sub-13 and still lose!

Allen could go sub 13 with some of the least "background" in history. I wouldn't be surprised if he pulls the upset for the win, but experience will probably win out.

[ATK]

I have Ronnie Ash taking a medal here.

The rounds are most likely to be McLeod's friend. They will not be too hard and will allow him to get his rhythm back - and his confidence - before the Final.

[Tuariki]

I am still going with Duck

[AFelixFan]

McLeod ran a very safe race to advance with ease.

[Weights&Shoes]

This rain is terrible.

[1runner1]

If this rain keeps up the duck is sure to win...might they delay heats? ..rain getting heavier

[Vault-emort]

This rain reminds me of the 1989 World Cup in Barcelona..

[AFelixFan]

Ortega looks good. These men deserve medals for even making it through this torrential downpour.

[Weights&Shoes]

If this rain keeps up the duck is sure to win...might they delay heats? ..rain getting heavier

It should be delayed if the weather report shows the rain will clear up in the area soon. If not, they need to push back the hurdles to tomorrow morning.

[18.99s]

It's delayed.

But once the rain stops, that gives the remaining hurdlers an unfair advantage for the fastest losers spots.
