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.
