Osaka 2007

I think we will see the most even competition. Here is my medal&prediction.


1. Clay 8850 pts

2. Sebrle 8800 pts

3. Karpov 8700 pts

----------------------------------

4. Krauchanka 8650 pts

5. Pappas 8500 pts



Good luck boys !

Tomas Dvorak will not enter to decathlon competition in WC 2007 Osaka fot heel injury.

Very sad about this (

He is still my favourite decathlete.

I don't have enough time for detailed predictions (as I did in the prevoius years).


Would choose the same guys in the same order as Jiri did, but I'm not sure about the points...


Clay was on the way to a new American record in Götzis until DT, but his comp at the US trials wasn't such good.

Karpov is getting better and better after disappointing a little in Götzis.

Krauchanka may already have peaked this year.

I did some quick tips on the Forecasting Result Service, but I really don't know exactly what I should think...


It could be around 8900 for Clay

Not sure about Sebrle (was Kladno the first step to a big comeback to his best results 8700 ?)


What about Pappas? How is his shape? I calculated 8500 for him ...


I think it will be very close between 8500 and 8200 with almost 10 athletes in this range.

Bad luck for Kravchenko and Clay

Drozdov 8490 (8478-8502) PB

Niklaus 8376 (8370-8382) PB

Müller 8355 (836-8365) PB


I've put in results for the 2nd based on this year and "feelings"

It's gonna be very close between Smith, Karpov and Drozdov for Silver and Bronze!

Hello, mate!

I went to see Decathlon the World Championship in Osaka.

It was really good!

I was so impressed that Sebrle got the Gold Medal.

Sebrle was in difficult situation, he failed PB 4.40 twice.

But at last, Sebrle threw JT special big one! Seblre cough Smith !!

It was disappointed that Cray and Papas had DNF.

Of course other Decathletes were so beautiful.

I was so glad to see them in my hometown.

I came to like Decathlon very much!

I want to know Decathlon more.

Nice to see you!!

Koipond...I absolutely loved Osaka!Beautiful city and a great place to compete.Wish I could've done better!
