Day 2 - Preview

Before we get down into specific events, I thought I'd take a minute to preview the entire second day. Events in the 2nd day include:

Hurdles
Discus
Pole Vault
Javelin
1500 Meters

And a lot like the first day, Babson is going to be strong in several of the early events, but he'll still have endurance issues that will impact him at the end of the day and if you thought he was bad in the 400, wait for the 1500...

Ginsberg is considered really strong at the beginning of day 2 and the end of day 2, but he's going to suffer with the 2 throwing events...

McCloud will be good until the 1500...then like Babson he'll need to hold on for dear life...

Nielsen will be solid in the field events, like high jump could make a big move in the Pole Vault then will need to over achieve in the 1500...

Llyw should be about as steady as any competitor on day 2, question will be if he can continue to over perform like he did a couple of times in day 1. If he can he could not only end up on the podium, but could be on top...

Rambis is similar to Llyw but with slightly better upside and a little bigger downside possibilities...if the risk/reward works out he could be a factor down the stretch

McGillicuddy - if he can survive the 2 throws and keep the leaders within sight, he could challenge to be on the podium.

Bafou - the field events and the pole vault will probably doom any chances he has of getting a medal.

Justice might be the most consistent performer in day 2 and could make a big move with some good rolls.

Gunderson - needs big results in the 2 throws and some favorable rolls in events where he is an underdog to make any noise

Gonzalez - going to be hard pressed to move up the leaderboard

AshKayev - after his great start it has really been down hill...the throws and pole vault will hurt any chances of moving up very high, but he could climb serveral places with a strong Day 2...

As you can see from the leaderboard, even the bottom competitors aren't that far out of medal position. So a few fortunate rolls or a couple poor results by currently leaders will cause a serious shake up on the leaderboard. Also injuries are still a potential game changer...it will be interesting to see if they will have an impact on the results before all is said and done?
