maybe all that work by the italian squad may be pretty counter-productive to their chances in the finalle? not sure how much supporting firepower they'll have now.

now that the groups are close.... any names you all want to throw out?
I haven't heard anything from Kolobnev.... seems like he's a dark horse for this course

definitely counter productive. They had to split it, but as Ex said guess it was too early.

I'd be looking at Spain now, or any of the crop of strongman sprinters in there.

@RX: good reminder about evans - he is nails. the belgian announcers love him and his "hard-man" racing style.
