I think that Walker and and Hooker are clearly the favs, slightly bangged up or not. I am a bit surprised that Hartwig is not on the list, when some of those names are..

I think Spiegelburg is home in Germany? Hooker? Hooker? Lobinger should figure in the mix

It seems to me you should start to learn how to write and pronounce the name Przemysław Czerwiński. It may be helpful this week

What happened??? I saw him taking the poles out of his bag when I was leaving the warm up track. Did he get hurt when he was jumping???

just realized Speigelburg won't be in Osaka... replace him with Hooker. Lobinger... i'm not so sure. He's too hit or miss these last few years for me to put in there confidently. This list is a big gamble but that's how you win big, right? ;) nothing ever goes exactly true to form.

During training Czerwinski has fallen on his left arm so unlucky way that one of the bones is broken. That's all they printed in newspaper.
