Given that the meet is in Coe's back yard, I suspect very little drug bust will happen but who will the upset athlete be? Name the shock winner or loser?

The Semenya double, if it is pulled off, would be my guess as the story with the most coverage in the mainstream press.

More than Bolt? I doubt it...
I got a text telling me about the Bolt-De Grasse "non race" and this is why I posted.
Could be your post, too. It fits the media's agenda. Good call.
Rupp running in the 10k as the fourth American.
An American gold in the steeple or the 5k (Jager or Chelimo) would probably be news in the US and seems like a real possibility.

Bolt will get a slow start in the 100m and someone will beat him like Coleman.
WvN will win the 400m, weather dependent he will break 43s.
Hassan will win the 1500m.
Kiprop will not win a medal.

Indeed the continuing Bolt retirement story might be a bigger story. If Bolt loses there is no question that it would be the biggest story to splash across the pages of the mainstream press.
far from reality but . . .
Semenya does the individual 800/1500 Golden double and scorches a seriously jaw dropping come from behind anchor to give the RSA w4x400 relay a Gold . . .
:)
Semenya pulls off the double...ends up gracing the cover of a Wheaties box and 4 decades later decides that all her life she has been a man and has surgery to seal the deal...

Then hooks up with Caitlyn.

I think it'll be 2007 - the summer of webb.
A slightly out of shape Ezekiel Kemboi hammers it home for bronze in the steeplechase ahead of a 4th place Mahiedine Mekhissi-Benabbad. JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED. I hope there is dancing.
De Grasse upsets Bolt. Perhaps not that much of an upset, considering how Bolt's been running this year.

A HUGE upset for an athlete not competing to win gold!

I was alluding to another thread which said De Grasse would not contest the 100m. Maybe this is an unsupported rumor...

Already half way there
Bolt pulls up lame with a hammy in the semis. #sad #makejamaicagreatagain
de grasse will have faster qualifying times than bolt....so expect a "false" start by de grasse, and bolt wins with a slow 9.93
