Men
100M - Bolt, but a three way battle with gay and powell. (i remember a time when anything under 10seconds was cosidered a good run. those days are over) gay with a injury niggle may not take this out. hes also a slow starter but finishes well, but so does Bolt. Bolt also annihilated gay at the reebok meet when he ran his world record. powell is good but got beat to third at the WC's. Bolt is my fav. this is going to be interesting.
200M - Bolt - its his favourite event, but he says he has to compete in the 100m now that he owns the WR. Great finisher, slow out of the blocks. well suited to 200m. WR could be in jeopardy
400M - Wariner - has run 3 or 4 times under the 44sec mark this past year. the only person to do that once is merrit who only just scraped in. wariner to win.
800M - mulaudzi, but toss up between abubaker, mulaudzi and rudisha.
1500M - Korir for me, although ive always cheered on thenth africa runners from morocco and algeria over the years. Saeed Aouita i a living legend.. u really think Kipchirchir is in with a chance? hes up against 5 countrymen. any one of them is capable of taking out the crown.
5000M - Bekele too. though ill be cheering mottram on. hes in with a medal chance at least.
10000M - Bekele to take the 5K and 10K sweep
110M Hurdles - dunno
400M Hurdles - Clement. a class above consistantly.
3000M Steeplechase - not sure but im with jazz on this one
High Jump - Rybakov

Long Jump - Howe. when did Khuwalidi do the 8.37 into a headwind?
Triple Jump - Idowu
