The real clincher was the injuries to three of the best USA 400m guys. Mitchell who broke his fibula during the prelim, yesterday joined the last two Olympic 400-meter champions, Jeremy Wariner and Lashawn Merritt, on the sideline with injuries.
I rolled my +260 win Canada over France(soccer) to the +400 Bahamas. Even today up till the race start Bahamas was being offered at +250.

Great call guys, too bad I did not see this earlier..

Womens Modern Pentathlon Gold
Victoria Tereshuk +430

Beijing 2008, Tereshuk won Bronze, but beat the gold medalist, who is also the favorite today,
Schoneborn, in 4 of 5 events ! The only event she did not beat Schoneborn in was fencing.
Thus, if Tereshuk has brushed up on her fencing skills, she could win Gold.
Beijing's Silver medalist, Fell, is not competing as Britain has a younger, less established
representative.

Can also cover the wager with two others, this is how I am playing it,
basically as a Schoneborn Fade with the emphasis on Tereshuk.
