Trouble is unless its really obvious like that Bolt chap for the sprints you still have to do research for yourself!

Yeah ive just been having a look.Not much on oddschecker at the moment as a guide.

I found some athletics sites with predictions via google ...

i went with last years olympics as a guide so far

Well seeing as everyone is saying how they are going to choose what they are going for, it looks like it will be an 11 way split at the top

My source is only a guide at the moment.I filled in the first few days but once i see concrete evidence of definite starters then it might change.
Not a big follower of Athletics these days so not expecting too much

I am presuming that you don't have to enter your prediction for some of the events until before its final takes place? In other words the qualifying competition for the Women's Discus starts early Saturday morning. We can wait to see who goes through? Whereas the Decathlon is "a final" from the first gun of the 100m.

Yes mate that's how I read it

Yes - bit like with the swimming which I was pretty useless at!

Players so far : 13

A short reminder the Comp starts in the morning.

The list of names in the private league doesn't seem to come up...

They are for me Mark. They have put points up already in the Women's Marathon although for the life of me I don't know why quite yet.

Sod law - got the same issue now.

Seems strange that they're updating the Marathon in running but not the Decathlon
