Definitely not fair to call her a cheater though. She has done nothing wrong. Exactly. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Dunadan 1,103 Posted December 3, 2019 #542 Share Posted December 3, 2019 So people are writing about marathon athletes qualified for Tokyo 2020, then a newbie registers and immediately finds a way to start their campaign against Semenya and others who have nothing to do with marathon and Tokyo 2020.

Yeah, but on the other hand Marathon is the event where it's most likely that several athletes will withdraw. For example Farah is probably already out for the Marathon.

JoshMartini007 2,131 Posted December 12, 2019 #549 Share Posted December 12, 2019 For anyone interested, here's what my prediction model suggests on medal chances for each event in athletics. I may have to change to a hybrid model for long distance (5000m, 10000m, walks and marathon) events as quite often the pace/strategy is different in each race. The low number of competitions for some athletes caused a couple of weird results so hopefully they continue to compete in 2020. Below are the athletes with a greater than 50% chance at winning the gold medal in an event. Caster Semenya - Women's 800m - 99.21% Katarina Johnson-Thompson - Women's Heptathlon - 81.91% Daniel Stahl - Men's Discus Throw - 79.45% Kenenisa Bekele - Men's Marathon - 74.30% Yulimar Rojas - Women's Triple Jump - 69.93% Shaunae Miller-Uibo - Women's 400m - 69.11% United States - Men's 4x400m Relay - 64.21% Pawel Fajdek - Men's Hammer Throw - 62.18% United States - Women's 4x400m Relay - 57.65% Will Claye - Men's Triple Jump - 55.80% Malaika Mohambo - Women's Long Jump - 55.50% Brigid Kosgei - Women's Marathon - 52.18% Shaunae Miller-Uibo - Women's 200m - 51.51% Karsten Warholm - Men's 400m Hurdles - 50.75% Gianlu33, Laraja, Wumo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
