so who do you think will win mens final at olympics?

I'm hoping Jared Graves wins it, he was looking good this morning

kdw712 · « **Reply #1 on:** August 20, 2008, 03:44 PM »

mike day is on crackin form too

dialledbikes · « **Reply #2 on:** August 20, 2008, 03:48 PM »

My Top 3: Mike Day, Jared Graves, Maris Strombergs (not necessarily in that order). But if there's a crash, anything can happen and anyone can sneak in to a medal spot.

Top 3 for women will be Shanaze, ACC and LLC (in that order).

magna13 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 20, 2008, 04:00 PM »

Men: Mikey Day

Women Shanaze Reade

Siphiso Nlhapo - would be South Africa's only medal I think - that'd be cracking seeing as tho worlds are there in 2010...

Blokes: Marius Strombergs
Birds: Our Girl Shanaze

If everyone stays upright, I can't see Sifiso getting a medal or even making the main, but if theres a crash he could be a surprise package as he's managed to pull off some unexpected results recently (e.g. Worlds finalist 2008).

My mens top 3 same as that Mike ( and as you say not necessarily in that order )

.

I think there'll deffo be 1st turn carnage though

martsz · « **Reply #8 on:** August 20, 2008, 04:59 PM »

SAME AS! Day or Strumsblokes

.

BUT - that first turn is a proper ripple bumpy crash burm!

Shinny for the womens all the way.

Dingobmxer · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2008, 05:09 PM »

Graves,Day, Stromberg in that order

I think there might be some team riding in the womens but hope not

DINGO

I'm with you Dingo... I think they all know Shinny is the main threat, hopefully she will be long gone outta the gate before they get any opportunity of some 'tactical' berm warfare!!

For the gents I am gonna say Mikey Day.... cos' he looked most impressive this morning...

stidds · « **Reply #11 on:** August 20, 2008, 05:50 PM »

I think Artus Matisons could suprise everyone although he does have a difficult semi-final.

Rooonga · « **Reply #12 on:** August 20, 2008, 09:51 PM »

I recon Donny Robinson is playing things down a bit - just doing enough to get through.

He's so mentally strong, and uber quick so I'm backing him. (Got 5 to one odds too LOL!)

As for the ladies - everyone else can form a line behine Shindawg!

kdubbmx · « **Reply #13 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:29 PM »

Hate to say it but ACC looked quicker into & over the last jump in the first straight than Shanaze, lets hope Shanaze was cruising & saving the 'real deal' for the main!!!

johhnyboyz · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:33 PM »

Siphiso Nlhapo

CHAUSSON Anne-Caroline

come back in a couple of hours and see

Rindernect for a medal, he does what it takes with no bull

johhnyboyz · « **Reply #16 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:48 PM »

kamakazi will wipe him out

moomin · « **Reply #17 on:** August 20, 2008, 11:50 PM »

I reckon Mike Day in the blokes

Womens i hope will be Shindawg, although ACC was faster in the trials her pack riding is not as strong, having said that the way Shinny is taking the last jump into the 1st corner looks a bit out to me, fastest combo so far looks the jump jump option, her manualling looked slower to me, god i hope i'm proved wrong cos that bird is soo damn fast it's scarey and it'd be great for British BMX to bring home Gold

dialledbikes · « **Reply #18 on:** August 21, 2008, 09:01 AM »

ACC might be faster over that jump into the first berm, but Shanaze is usually about 2 bike lengths in front by then, so hopefully it won't matter.

kdw712 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2008, 09:32 AM »

shanaze

but its gonna one hell of a race

and that first berm is carnage central
hopefully as mike says she'll be off in front at the point and gone

brass monkey! · « **Reply #20 on:** August 21, 2008, 09:46 AM »

Rained off !!

fingers crossed for tomorrow then......

DONNY R · « **Reply #21 on:** August 21, 2008, 01:38 PM »

If shanaze stays focuse she will have it in the bag no problem, lets just hope the olympic presser dont get to her

mens final.... wide open

BMXpert · « **Reply #22 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:17 PM »

Strombers, Day, Graves, Willers, Robbo.......................... in that order

Shinny, no pressure
