Valerie Adams in the SP maybe...probably chicherova in the hj, if vlasic is hurt.
But nothing is a lock, even rudisha

Nobody is a lock, but if I had to bet on one man winning gold I'd put my money on Rudisha. Including women Sally Pearson is probably almost as much of a heavy favorite as Rudisha.
Adams, Chicherova Rudisha and Pearson are all favorites but they are also in events that are completely unpredictable.
Remember the 08 100HH and Lolo? She was untouchable all season until that one race.
Vlasic in the HJ in 08 was untouchable all year until she lost on misses to Hellabaut.
How about Isinbaeva in Berlin?
Or the 3 American shot putters who will dominate a season and struggle under the weight of a major championship.
Even Rudisha lost to Amann in Milan. It was rainy, they went through the quarter in 50.5 and Rudisha just didnt have it. Anyone can beat anyone.
