the USA is pretty useless in athletics without its minorities who rake in 99% of its medals. i suspect it would be struggling like just as athletically useless india

The fight to top the medal table is turning out to be quite a nail biter. A three way dash for the finish with Kenya, Jamaica and USA the only countries with double digits medals. One of these three countries wins two golds tomorrow, they win overall. Who's chances do you like?
RANK COUNTRY TOTAL
1 KENYA 6- 4- 3 = 13
2 JAMAICA 6- 2- 3 = 11
3 UNITED STATES 5- 5- 6 = 16
4 GREAT BRITAIN & N.I. 4- 1- 0 = 5
5 POLAND 3- 1- 4 = 8
6 RUSSIA 2- 1- 1 = 4
7 CUBA 2- 1- 0 = 3
8 PR OF CHINA 1- 5- 1 = 7
9 CANADA 1- 3- 3 = 7

I don't know anything about the women's marathon. Will Kenya win it?
There is also W javelin and M highjump

Kenya will win 7 gold medals and have the most medals.
US will be second with 7 gold but fewer overall medals by 1.
Now, the US could mess up the baton handing over. I know it is the 4x400 but come on guys, thi sis the United States of America and botched relays.
America,
That ship of topping the medal table has sailed.

Just shut the hell up and don't come back. Thanks to ARD, we now know what you and those Kenyan drug addicts really are.

Weird how ARD are suddenly this unimpeachable oracle for athletics conspiracy theorists when all they showed was a white European at a back street doctor and speculated about the death of a local third-tier road runner.

It's not too late for the Kenyans to put those KENYAN HURDLERS in there. They can probably all run 42 or 43 each.
Kenya losing the gold in three straight events (Men's 5K, Women's 800m and marathon) has one last shot to top the table in the men's 1500m where gold and silver may be necessary. But if Jamaica wins both relays, they will come out tops. USA are in a position where they MUST win both relays to stand any chance.
Jamaica will not win the mens 4 by 400. Sorry. Not happening. Trinidad will win that.

I've looked at Trinidad's team and they're, indeed, real contenders. If that happens, USA will need the women's 4x400 and hope for Makhloufi or someone else to steal the men's 1500m from Kenya. As for total medals, right now USA is on 16, Kenya on 14 and Jamaica on 11.
Either way, very exciting finish.
USA might drop the stick.
Well that's it, Kenya wins. Sneaky learning hurdles and javelin while nobody was looking.

KENYA ARE CHAMPIONS. Kudos to IAAF being tough on doping that has seen America and Russia struggle this year.

Much better if you would leave.
When I called Haile Geb a doper yesterday my post was promptly deleted.
How come this little cvck svcker of a third rate coach can keep on with his groundless accusation and general BS?

Russia was top at the last WC. I don't think these things matter anyway. At least relays should not be considered. That's just silly. Country with most depth wins almost by default.
"Country with most depth wins almost by default" Uh, what do you think comparing total medal counts is looking at?
So, Kenya wins overall beating USA who were only third after being beaten to second by Jamaica.
Final standings:
1. KENYA - Population 43 million
2. JAMAICA - Population 2.7 million
3. USA - Population 320 million.
We're coming for the field events, sprints and hurdles next.
umm...kenyans tested positive at this meet...did you read? and kenya will never, never beat usa in medal total...or jamacia, mon...
Jamaica is skewed by a few big stars. Take away Bolt and SAFP and their medal count plummets, esp gold. Probably 5 less golds.
JUst because your pop is 20x of Jamaica does not mean you have 20 undiscovered Bolts.
