If Chris Solinsky is there, he's a lock for DNF. |

Interesting. She was beaten pretty easily by Spence a week or two back. Not saying she can't or won't turn that form around but that's a bold call to suggest she's almost a lock |

Rudisha asked to run on 4x400 team what will he split 44.5? better? |

Family History His father copped Mexico Sliver on the 4x400 and his mother ran 400IMs. Unless he ran a shorter time this year his PR is 45.5 So a solid 44high carry can be expected |

Daniel his father has a 45.5 yards PB can not find stats for his mother. |

Rudisha schooled the 08 Olympic champion and his average race is over a second faster than anyone else. You guys talk about the 800 like its the marathon or something. The top 3 of the Beijing Olympics were pretty predictable, this years is even more so. |

If you can lump together Wilson Kipsang and Moses Mosop, I would say that, together, they are pretty close to a lock to produce a gold in the marathon. I think I'd honestly put 90% odds on one of them winning, given that they start healthy. |

I hear that there is this new fangled concept called information. Check it out some time. |

I love how some idiots pull percentages out of their ass and act like it they have some sort of mathematical validity. "Oh, actually, according to a complex algorithm that I just made up, Rupp has a 19.3% chance of getting a medal in London". |

Sure Rudisha is the favorite, but it's 3 races in four days. The body can do weird things after running 1:44 on back to back days. |

Verzbicas will take the gold in the 800 and steeple. |
