Yeah would love to know what the odds are for heptathlon:
My rough guess: Ennis 3/1 v KJT 2/1 v The Field 6/4 Think I saw Bolt 8/11 v GAtlin evens (both have to run) |
|
By:
betfair has KJT 2/5 v Ennis 7/4.
|
|
By:
That's on sportsbook. No money at all on the exchange yet. Don't know how to call that one, really no idea how fit KJT is. Still a few weeks to go, but I don't think there will be any indicators before the competition. Sadly, some of the events will be at rather unsociable hours.

By:
Some Heptathlon events at unsociable hours, I should say. All the finals and good stuff are daytime viewing.

I'm pretty sure that Genzebe Dibaba's WR in the 1500m is the first individual WR in a female event pre the systematic state sponsored doping era of the Eastern Bloc and others pre 1990, that was the pre cursor to proper drug testing. Events like the 400m Hdles, long distance, hammer and triple jump are all post 1990 events, whilst the javelin was redesigned. It's the first time anyone has even got close.

By:
Quite a few firms now priced up.
Ive not had a proper look a the mens marathon but Kipsang around evens looks very short and worth opposing |
|
By:
I dont like doping athletes but gotta lay bolt at evens against Gatlin and Powell
|
|
By:
don't dope them then
 love to see jess pull this off but 2nd fave going into the last 3 events |

Bolt stumbles into FINAL
Dosent look GOOD Gatlin to win is a formality , now  |
|
By:
Bolt at 3.6
|
|
By:
Very surprised that KJT is running 800 metres when she has the long jump to come.
|
|
By:
Get on

By:
Didn't know that rule about dropping out.

By:
Wonderful result from Bolt after so much hype about the Americans. Great run from Jess Ennis as well.

|
By:
Anyone know why USA had 4 runners when Bolt was the defending champ? I thought that you only got 3 plus the defending champion in the Worlds.
|
|
By:
Diamond league winner from last year (Gatlin) also gets invite
|
|
By:
providing defending champ not already invited (i.e. up to max of 4 per country)
|
|
By:
How does Jessica ennis win all the time. She is so mildly above average at the individual events it infuriates me
 |
|
By:
Thanks Degs, didn't know about Diamond League. I have always thought that 3 per country is crazy in the World Champs when so many potential medallists don't even get selected. There would be an outcry if Wimbledon or the Open Golf restricted the number from any country.
|
|
By:
Same as the Olympics. Some countries dominate certain sports so makes for better international viewing.

Genzebe Dibaba doesn't merit a write-up in today's Racing Post. (maybe because she is 1.16) Final due off at 1:35pm UK |

why no betting on heats on betfair?
|
|
By:
they can't be arsked
|
|
By:
you can't really bet on the winner of a heat when they only have to finish in the first three.

Jeff Henderson?????????????? another american that can`t do the basics.......... get a solid jump in three attempts to get a further three........ What a disappointment...........

In the women's 400m, Jamaica has outperformed the US, with all four athletes reaching the individual final. Have taken Coral's 5/1 on them to win the relay, as I can't for the life of me see why the American's are best-priced at 1/7 (Lads), even though they should have Felix on last leg.

The USA will have Francesca Macrory and Sanya Richards Ross in their team with Francis and Felix.Probably too short but will win imo. They had funny results in their trials meaning their bewst runners bar felix weren't in the individual 400m. |

I see a couple of kenyans have failed drug tests just as they are wiping the floor in all different disciplines
 Steve Backley must of watched his record go there thinking 'bullshiit'LaShawn Merritt drug cheat runs a personal best. And still loses. Is it a 2 year ban? Absolutely laughable. That's not a deterrent. I was watching one of the sprint heats they were going along the lanes saying 'back from a ban' 'back from a ban' 'back from a ban'. You're watching it doubting every performance you see. Sadly. |
|
By:
As long as its only a two year ban athlete's will take the risk. Get banned for two years. Also don't know if they are tested as much if at all in that two years. Sport is a complete farce. Unless they can find a way to introduce much longer bans to life ban's the sport is finished. I hate to say this but the Kenyan thing is all to familiar. The javelin i hate to say his eyes looked wrong. Probably nothing in it but who knows. Cycling mostly cleaned up its act unless athletics doe's something similar it will suffer.
I watched athletics religiously but now really could not careless. Sicken that in the 100m three athlete's had served ban's. What must a clean athlete thinking lining up against this. It is just a nonsense and Coe will make no difference. Either get together and make athlete's sign up to life bans for cheating or you may as well forget about the sport. |
