2008 Olympic Decathlon

Did you see Wolrd Indoors??? Should be a no-brainer

I agree I love Clay. I just hope that e can run a little more solid times in the 1500, not anything special just maybe a 4:45 here or there.

I would like Sebrle to win, a so long record of victories, it would be unbeatable for decades to come, I think. But, hoestly, I think that it could be Krauchanka´s moment better than Clay´s, this gyuy is brilliant but with ups and downs, not solid

I'd think Clay so far, but I'd like to wait a little bit to see them compete this year (Götzis, Arles, Ratingen, US Trials).


Unfortunately I cannot see the standings after I've voted.


Btw, Dean Macey is listed ... does anyone know more about him (his shape, healthiness) ? The last time I've heared/read about him was after the CG.

From leichtathletik.de:


Dean Macey undestructible...

another attempt to return to full strength by Briton Dean Macey. he feels well an will try to get close to the top, but it would be his final attempt.

Forecasting result service is again available for combined events in Beijing Olympics. Results will be updated from Finland, but we anyways try our best to update results in real-time.

4. Hardy 8580

5. Suarez 8560

6. Sysoev 8550

...

Sebrle DNF

Pappas DNF


..shortly I expect one man show and I believe new OR and I dream for WR


I'm looking forward to Olympic competition


Boys, good luck

After 100m I continue to keep the list of 11 men, who could get into top 6 in my opinion:

Clay 10,44 989p (-12p compared to 8832p in Eugene)

Hardee 10,52 970p (-22p compared to 8534p in Eugene)

Smith 10,85 894p (-9p compared to 8434p in Kladno)

Suarez 10,90 883p ( 53p compared to 8451p in Ratingen)

Krauchanka 10,96 870p ( 5p compared to 8585p in Hengelo)

Drozdov 11,02 856p (-11p compared to 8475p in Osaka)

Sysojev 11,03 854p (-38p compared to 8497p in Götzis)

Pogorelov 11,07 845p (-2p compared to 8381p in Götzis)

Niklaus 11,12 834p (-2p compared to 8273p in Ratingen)

Pappas 11,12 834p (-49p compared to 8511p in Eugene)

Sebrle 11,21 814p (-38p compared to 8676p in Osaka)


I also follow 2 Estonians, who may have chance to get into top 10.

Raja 10,89 885p (-5p compared to 8069p in Rakvere)

Pahapill 11,15 827p (-11p compared to 8117p in Rakvere)

Regarding final results:

Clay, Krauchanka 8600-8700p

Sebrle 8500-8550p

Drozdov, Suarez, Smith 8400-8500p

Sysojev, Pogorelov, Hardee, Niklaus, Pappas 8300-8400p

Weather is bad in Beijing, but despite that I believe that Clay is a hype. He wouldn't have chance to brake world record. I think that all 2nd day events were just huge success, which is hard to repeat. And as I expected before the competition (not expressing it here, unfortunately), americans will do much worse than in Eugene.

I think that Clay will get 100p less for hurdles, discus and pole vault in Beijing compared to Eugene. All americans will probably get 100 points less than in trials.

But on the other hand Krauchanka's 8585p in Hengelo was achieved in very difficult conditions in the 1st day. There should be some room to improve.

I meant 2nd day in Eugene, where he had hurdles 13,75, discus 52,74 and pole vault 5.00.
