I guess Rutherford don't mind. In many years he'd be 1.8 for spoty, this year he's 1000

This is the week of Mo. Be nice to have twitter numbers from last night, I feel he stirred the nation far more than Jess. Shortening on his medal ceremony, back on Wednesday for the heats, and then another glory on Saturday touch wood

What price do you think he will go to if he wins the 5k George. I was thinking 3.0ish?
|
|
By:
Not immediately, but I think the reaction in the following week would drive him that way when people thought about the abiding memory of the games. He is our final shot at gold I do believe

I disagree here on the Farah price if he wins 5k.
He can't go to 3.0 as he will remain the outsider of the 'Big 3'. Be more like 8 or 9? If he does he will probably take out of the Wiggo price more than Jess, but I would say Mo winning the 5k harms Jess' chances of winning SPOTY? |

By:
Depends on the reaction. I think so far punters have misjudged the reaction to him winning the first leg as it was inevitably buried under a mountain of other news

I watched the last few laps of the 10K with my son on my mobile, in the middle of a field amongst 9000 people at an outdoor 'battleproms' concert. (Very poor timing - arranged by the Missus)
It Was a surreal experience watching the race against a background of a Beethoven Symphony occompanied by 200 field cannons and fireworks going off as he ran into the finishing straight. At the end of the performance, the compere said 'I have an important announcement to make.. Mo Farah has just won the Gold medal' cue lost of cheering and flagwaving. Strangely no mention of Jess |

I have this impression Mo won the battle on Saturday night. Only anecdotal evidence so far. I will canvas a few more people

farah in a battle with wiggins for who deserves it most
that isnt what wins it, that will be decided by chatty man, johnny woss and graham norton and of course by constant ramping on sky news/sky sports for a month before spoty |

Mo already has Saturday night TV form OC

Mo wins this. HTH

George and I are on the train. Get on soon at 3.5 - still a great price imo!
|
|
By:
If he doesn't win now it's a travesty.

By:
Well I predicted it pretty well so far Meaty
 . he'll still be looking up ar Wiggo on the spoty podium, but only because wiggo is 2 foot taller. Mo will be standing on the highest box |

i took 30 this week it was rude not to..if i only played on spoty every year id be a rich man but you do the same as me mate its all about knowing when to back and lay
|

By:
Mo an insane price here. Reality surely hits later this week
|
|
By:
I just couldn't believe his price after winning the 10k. I don't intend laying off at the moment. When is SPOTy this year? Hopefully this will pay for xmas
 Still think there is one 999/1 shot who could be a good bet to lay option. |

Great tip, great thread. To those suggesting Farah should be favourite now are simply wrong. Wiggins' achievement was far greater just winning the Tour De France. And if that wasn't enough he proved that he didn't need Froome (one of the reasons stated as to why the Tour De France was not a huge achievement) by smashing him in the time trial. I don't think you give enough credit to the public - they watch the tour de france (the chatter notably grew this year). Great runs by Mo but Wiggins smashed it.
