World Championship Fantasy Draft

Yeah, thought hard about Jesse Williams for the last couple of picks but I just wasn't brave enough to go for a high jumper...it's such an unpredictable event with little between the best in the world....having said that I did choose Vlasic, but somehow she seems a safer bet (despite her form so far this season). Williams has had a great year so far.

Ah now Vlasic will be one of the shortest fav's in the whole champs bar Bolt. I was gonna pick Ukhov at one stage but its lunacy to pick a male high jumper imo.

Very True Ukhov came to mind for me myself but then got me thinking about Ioannou and Williams and that young Qatari guy (can't think of his name off hand) basically its a brave call to pick a medalist in such a deep event

Any Russian on the start line has a shout at winning, Baba, the Czech, another contender.....it's a bit like women's 100mHurdles. So many great athletes, but I'm afraid to pick one, because even making the final is a hard ask. Plus, I have 100% loyalty for Derval!:D

Clearly! Teddy Tamgho was a much safer choice.

Dan man · 21-07-2011 3:41pm

Well when Williams comes up trumps in Daegu, you have permission to gloat till the cows come home....besides, the rest of your squad is reliable enough. Too bad about Tamgho.

Hope not I have one or two athletes in mind who might be swiped tonight pending a solid performance (and I think season openers)

ecoli · 30-07-2011 2:36pm

Last night definitely put some spanners in the works

Semenya looking like she tought was running a 1500 and never seems to get moving
and
Jason Richardson pulling out a 13.17 into a -2.3 headwind meaning the top 3 could have competition

Pisco Sour · 02-08-2011 3:32am

Yahya Berrabah for me please.

Brianderunner · 02-08-2011 7:45am

My team is falling apart.

I suppose it won't matter. By the time 0412725240255808524 makes his other picks the Olympics will be over. :pac:
