Daegu 2011 Medal Predictions Update
NB:
Spoiler is considered a hot medal contender but not as hot as the top 3 favourites

My predictions are not going too badly so far!
Only got one of the medallists correct for the
men's 100m final but did not get his position correct, i.e. Yolan Blake.
Got the winning 3 correct for the
women's 100m final!
Got KAB's position correct but had Jeter & VCB in the wrong positions!
Got the 1st & 2nd places correct in the
men's 400m final with Kirani James picking up Grenada's very 1st World Champs gold medal.
Got two of the correct medallists in the
women's 400m final Felix & Montsho but not their correct positions.
Got just one of the medallists correct for the
men's 110mH final, Liu Xang but not his correct position! It would have been two if Robles wasn't disqualified.
Only got one of the medalist correct in the
men's 400m Hurdles final, the South African Van Zyl, but got his placing wrong! Had him winning but he placed 3rd!
For
women's 200m final got all 3 medalists correct including the winner VCB but got the 2nd and 3rd places the wrong way around!
