Took Athletics Weekly and altered a bit.
Jamaica must step up to win championship in areas of historic underachievement even though we have shown the capability in glimpses to do it. Bolt must be added to 4*400 men's to be able to achieve this mountaintop, cannot be conventional.
Safp must win one and two and women's 4*4 must finally step up, the talent is there to beat a somewhat depleted USA with mcp and other girls in excellent form it is time to step up and make a race of it.
Winning those takes us to seven gold and I changed some of the overly confident USA wins predicted by Athletics weekly. Outside chance of eight if Us messes up 4*1 women.
