Hello Forum Folk,
So, simple question (or perhaps not): who's going to win the triathlon at the Beijing Games?
220 will be running an Olympic preview in issue 224 and we want to know who the members of the finest forum on the web think will be coming away from Beijing with gold medals hanging around their necks. Tell us who you'll be putting your money on (figuratively speaking, of course - we don't endorse gambling) in the men's and women's triathlons, and why, and your punditry could be finding its way into the mag.
Will the Aussies and Kiwis be walking away with it? Perhaps Portugal's Vanessa Fernandes and Spain's Javier Gomez will continue to dominate? What about the South Africans, the Americans and the Germans? Can the Brits cope with the humidity and make to the top step of the podium?
Let us know…

Get gazing into your crystal balls.
Javier Gomez all the way, altho I do think Tim D will give him a fright.
The men's race is harder to call. I think that Gomez will probably choke again and that the winner will come from any one of the chasing pack. Tim Don has as good a chance as any, but is probably the only Brit who is in the frame. One of the Brownlee's and Hollie Avil are the top bets for 2012....
Love to see the Don win the men's but a lot will rest on Gomez and how he copes with the pressure of being the favourite.
I know that I am bloody looking forward to the whole thing.
