Beijing Medal Predictions
Beijing Olympics: Women’s 800m Preview
Saturday, August 9th, 2008
In my Beijing Medal Predictions, I have changed my choices for silver and bronze in the women’s 800m. I had thought all Russians were suspended but as it turns out only Yelena Soboleva has been. Tatyana Andrianova (RUS) will win the silver and Svetlana Klyuka (RUS) will take bronze.
That being said, I do have my suspicions about both athletes. It just seems too coincidental that they’ve both set PRs during the same season that the Russian team is being accused of systematic doping and have the 3rd and 4th fastest times in the world during a season that has produced some incredible times in the event. Even so, they haven’t been suspended, so they will be running in Beijing. I won’t be rooting for them, but they will probably finish 2nd and 3rd.
