800m is so unpredictable, it is hard to have a lock unless you are a class above and take it out from 300m out or preferably from 600m out to avoid getting impeded or boxed in.Rudisha used to be able to do that but Rudisha is not the same athlete we saw in London and a lot of athletes are running similar times and know how to beat him. That said Semyana in the womens 800m is a lock because she is 3 seconds better than anyone else in the field.
Gotta be Simone Biles in both the all-around and floor.

Ledecky in the 400 and 800 free. Biggest lock in swimming, followed by the older Campbell sister in the 100 free.
Per SwimSwam, some European bookmakers have Ledecky at 1-100 in the 400 and 800 free, meaning a 99% probability of winning in their eyes, and a 1% chance she trips on the pool deck and breaks an ankle on the way to the blocks.

I thought about that but if Felix can break 49 she might actually be able to beat Semenya. But of course Semenya could run 46 and cause chaos.

That's hilarious!!! Just imagine Felix running her button off in 48s but Caster is miles ahead in 46s, quicker than the East Germans, man that record could last 200 years!! Speechless 😂
Rupp will win the marathon. Olympic marathon is always a tactical race, and that's right in Rupp's wheelhouse.
