I think they would both take a miracle. I take Froome for the chance that the top 5 crash out and he gets his TT together.

I'm going to vote for Farah as more likely, based on 2 factors:
1) He does have that kick. Froome doesn't really have any particular area in which he is untouchable if everything is working right.
2) While I'm not a Froome fan personally, he seems like he's at least able to fake being a decent fellow. Farah, on the other hand, I find so unlikeable that I want to gouge my eyes out every time I hear him speak. So I find it helpful to prepare myself for the worst (the possibility that he could actually win).
Farah has at least a 10% chance of winning gold.
Froome has maybe 1% at best based on his last twelve months.
Probably Sage winning the Boston Marathon.

Correct.
I don’t think Farah has a 10% chance of winning. Especially with his recent half marathon. Farah isn’t even the best 10k runner representing the UK.
Option 3: Jorgensen to win a medal.
Mo soley for the fact that he's made a career out of winning big races against guys that are faster than him
I would vote Mo. Froome would need to be good/lucky over a 3 week period. Mo just needs to capture some magic on a single day.

Interesting one. I looked for some bookie odds, found one giving Froome 25/1 but hard to find anything at all for Olympic events.
Of course you need a team behind you to win le Tour and is the Israel Startup such a team?
Is this breaking news from a long time ago? They've both already done it more than once.

If Farah has even .00001% chance of winning, then it's him - because Froome has absolutely NO chance.
