Im waiting for the bus for going to the stadium in Valencia, so Ive time to joke speaking about the finals of today (now are 2:00 pm in Valencia>).
800m
I think that Kaki can go in front after 350m, anticipating the action of Mulaudzi, May be Bogdanov in front from the beginning. Yeesterday I was very much impressed by the final of Simmonds, but Mulaudzi is that one with more experience, Kamel that one with more talent but also less tactical ability, Kaki that one with more aggressivity and Simmonds that one with more ability in kicking. Good race, with difficult preview.
Mulaudzi 30%, Kaki 25%, Kamel 20%, Simmonds 15%, Bogdanov 10%
3000m
I told to Soi to attack 450m from the finish. Personally, I think that Soi and Mottram have the main chances. I think that the first km can be about 2:40, after this Paul Koech, Tariku and Cherkos can go in front for increasing the pace. At 2km a leading group can be with 4 athletes + 2 (Koech, Tariku, Mottram, Soi, Cherkos and Farah), with James Kwalia and Maatoui in 7-8 position. The final can be very fast, I sool for 1:24 or less last 600m.
Mottram 27%, Soi 27%, Koech 23%, Tariku 23%
800m W
Mutola for the 8th time, but the ukrain can be good, and also pay attention to Mayte Martinez. Some chance for the Italian Cusma for a bronze, no chances for the Australian Lewis.
1500m W
Despite Soboleva, my favourite is Mariam Jamal, nobody else can do something, the only one is Burika.
Jamal 55%, Soboleva 30%, Burika 15%-
And, after these preview, probably I become a stupid, but I like to joke....
