World Championship Prediction Thread

ecoli

New format for this one

Plan is to go event by event. You get 1 point for each right prediction you make (only doing top 3 per event) so example;

Predictions|Position
U Bolt|1st
T Gay|2nd
A Powell|3rd

Highest points overall wins

Predictions will be taken until 10 min before the start of an event Final.

Tomorrows events:

Mens Decathlon
Womens Marathon
Mens 10,000m

OK I'm in, I must admit that I simply do not know enough about the mens decathlon to make a prediction so will have to forfeit that one.

Men's 10,000m

Predictions|Position
Mo Farah|1st
Gebremeskel|2nd
Merga|3rd

I think it will be close between Farah and Gebremeskel, it depends on how the race pans out. If it's a slow race then Farah has it.

Women's Marathon

Predictions|Position
Gelana|1st
E. Kiplagat|2nd
Tadese|3rd

Gelana is my pick, she ran very smart at the Olympics last year and looked good in London until she got knocked over.

Suppose better put mine down

Womens Marathon

Predictions|Position
E Kiplagat|1st
T Gelana|2nd
L Kabuu|3rd

Mens Decathlon
Predictions|Position
A Eaton|1st
G Nixon|2nd
T Hardee|3rd

Nixon impressed me at the US trials coming back weeks after winning the NCAAs so I think fresh he has the beating of Hardee


Mens 10000m
Predictions|Position
M Farah|1st
D Gebremeskel|2nd
B Karoki|3rd

Karoki bit of a wild card for me but I think the Kenyans will run smart in this for some reason. Change in approach this year could be a factor

I don't see Gelana in the lead group in the marathon? I just switched on after work, anyone know what happened her?

DNF. Quick pace in the first 10k, never went with it. Well over 2 mins behind when pulled up.
