What are your bold predictions for 2024?

Above were mine from a month ago.

I'm feeling good about Monson medaling.

Not sure about Grant winning the 10. I would be thrilled if he did. I think he has a great shot at medaling, though.

Not feeling good about Steiner medaling in the 200. At this point I'm not even sure she'll make the team.

Bol vs Syd? Who knows. Bol looks like she's in great form but can she hold it through to Paris or will she be even better? Syd is a question mark.

Laugh if you want but I think that Nuguse has a better than average chance of winning the 1500.

I'll 2 more: B

Because these are BOLD predictions, Hodgkinson wins the 800 in Paris. I would rather see Mu win but will not be disappointed if Keely wins.

Valby makes the team in the 5000. I doubt it but again, these are supposed to be BOLD predictions.

Grant Fisher medalling was just about the only correct predictions in this entire thread.

NO woman predictions.

Here are some of my favorite ones:

@TMADDDHASFNE:

"Valbymania exceeds expectations as Parker makes Olympic 5K team."

-

@Danicmic1:

"Grant Fisher medals in 10k. There will be extreme weather and a few hours of delay. He runs in the pack for the first 5k, and fades in 6-7 k, then picks off runners in the last 2 k to secure bronze or silver." (No weather or delay but Grant did medal!)

-

@Pinarello:

"Good call for Fisher to medal. I believe he can medal in the 5k as well. His 3k times show his ability to run a very fast pace.
Anticipating he will run some indoor races to see where he is at. Looking for him to run very fast indoors and make the outdoor 10k standard early in the year so he can focus on Paris.
Using knowledge gained as to what works for him and areas for improvement that he can incorporate into his own training plan without having the one size fits all approach from Jerry.
He has way more versatility now with his training, locations for training, who he trains with, and his racing schedule.
Records and medals from Grant in 2024."

@Nordic r:

"2. Jakob Ingebrigtsen breaks a world record after the olympics. He will go for the 5k, 10k or half marathon record." (it was 3k but i'm still gonna count this one)

-

@Nick Kipleri:

"Olympic marathon win goes to Tamirat Tola or Evans Chebet" (I don't really follow the marathon so i'm not sure how bold this actually was in January of 2024 but it was pretty spot on)

"Cheptegei goes for an other 10.000m title in Paris"

"Benjamin wins 400mH olympic gold and breakes WR" (No WR but he did win)

-

@Juzz:

"Jesuit CA boys team qualifies for NXN" (This wasn't particularly bold since Jesuit had a great track season but it was spot on so i'm gonna include it)

-

@Predictions revisited:

"Because these are BOLD predictions, Hodgkinson wins the 800 in Paris. I would rather see Mu win but will not be disappointed if Keely wins." (Nice!)

"Valby makes the team in the 5000. I doubt it but again, these are supposed to be BOLD predictions."
