Hmmm, not following the Olympics, not knowing he had prospects of a second gold, I might have been a bit premature... Still, awful long way to go, plenty of time for him to drift, for the usual suspects to do their thing, or other unheralded runners to achieve something unexpected

Keely Hodgkinson has broken the long-standing women's indoor 800m world record, set by Slovenia's Jolanda Ceplak on the day the Briton was born almost 24 years ago.
Olympic champion Hodgkinson crossed the line in one minute 54.87 seconds in Lievin, France, taking almost one second off Ceplak's time of 1:55.82 which had endured since 3 March 2002. |

Bruce Mouat and his rink have guaranteed Team GB's fourth medal of these Winter Olympics after seeing off unbeaten Switzerland 8-5 to reach the men's curling final in Cortina.
The British quartet - who are the reigning world champions - will face Canada in Saturday's final (18:05 GMT), looking to upgrade the silver medal they won four years ago in Beijing. But that is the least these four Scots will achieve in these Games in Italy. Mouat, Grant Hardie, Hammy McMillan and Bobby Lammie came here top of the world rankings and targeting nothing other than what the emotional skip called "our gold medal" in the immediate aftermath. And for all they struggled in the round robin and only earned their place in the medal-matches thanks to Italy losing on Thursday morning, they now stand one step away from achieving that ambition. "It will be the biggest match of our lives and we're so excited to get that opportunity again," vice-skip Grant Hardie told BBC Sport. |

If Keely could have a stellar year in the Diamond League and perform in the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship in September, she'd be in with a shout. I'd be having her and Matt Weston on side.

Probably better off laying weston than backing everyone else lol

By:
Weston is an odd case for SPOTY - in terms of just this year he's a massive lay - yeh he won a gold, but in a sport that is minority in the extreme. Fanbase size?
But there's something of a lifetime achievement aspect to it - he's the most decorated winter olympic athlete for UK of all time. What does that make odds around 7/1 - back or lay? I'm hedging to a small back at this price, as there's some margin for error, and might not be much strength if the footy guys mess it up. Keeley is a dark horse, but she has no Olympic win or outdoor world title to hit this year. |

She does have this new version of a ultimate world championships though - not sure if that counts or not?

Keely Hodgkinson made further history by becoming Britain's first women's 800m world champion - indoors or outdoors - crossing the line more than a second clear of her rivals in one minute 55.30 seconds.
That triumph wrapped up 28 minutes of success after golds for her training partner Georgia Hunter Bell and pole vaulter Molly Caudery on a sensational Sunday for the British team. |

Justin Rose also matched quite short, in play final round. 6.4, what's that about. Harry Kane in semi final of champions league and has scored 50 goals this season for Bayern. |

Saka, rice still in running, and join kane for world Cup. Arsenal still shooting for Epl too. Hearts on course for Scottish league, and scotland have nice draw at World Cup to get beyond group stage could be one to watch if England blow out. |

Still wide open innit. World Cup hero, keely, rory again if he won the open seem most likely to me. Russell looks doomed, antonelli just a bit quicker and a lot more aggressive. I wouldn't be surprised if a jock sneaks in
