well, maybe this was too strong. We will see. I hope this tim she will have better tactics in final. Good luck Amela.

Skujytė is showing why she is the best shot putter in Heptathlon yet again, of course 200m. might knock her down the order, but her RIO dream is still alive. It would be the 5th consecutive Olympic Games for her and if I'm not mistaken, she would be the first heptathlete to ever participate in 5 Olympic Games if of course, she collects the points needed for the quota.

Her tactics had some flaws this time as well, but she's getting better with each big event she runs at.

I remember bookmakers offered odds of 5 for her to win the shot put in the heptathlon at the 2012 Olympics.....I was very grateful and profited from their mistake quite a lot

Yet another reason for you to support her maybe she'll make more money for you in the near future.

I doubt they will make the same mistake again  (Besides, it's extremely rare that bookmakers offer odds for the separate events in a heptathlon/decathlon  )

I bet the odds for 800m. would be over the roof
