Champion  9407    Montague Gold Mines, Nova Scotia |  Subject: Men's Triathlon - Aug 7This one is a little better in terms of start time, (6:30am ET) and this should be a great race. Two clear favourites headed into this race for Gold/Silver but the men's race in each of the three Olympics has not been kind to the favourites. I think that it is going to be hard to beat the Brownlees but I would not be surprised to see both finish off the podium. Choose your gold medal favourite from the list (or add your own); list borrowed from Slowtwitch's Men's Olympic Triathlon preview so that I didn't miss anyone. Note - only 20 options available so if someone wants to pick M Huerta or R Colucci, they'll have to be write-ins. Shane Edited by gsmacleod 2012-08-01 6:41 AM |

Champion 9407 Montague Gold Mines, Nova Scotia | Subject: RE: Men's Triathlon - Aug 7 I thought I had enabled multiple options but apparently I did not. So, choose the gold medal favourite from the list and post you three podium picks here. Shane |
