<\/p>\n

It\u2019s here. Two days until the start of the WorldChampionships. \u2013 which means it\u2019s time to make my final predictions for U. S.medal hopes in Daegu.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On the one hand, this list looks very good, as it contains apotential of 31 medals \u2013 one more than the stated goal of 30 for London.  <\/span>At second glance, however, this medal countis highly dependent on multiple medals in several events \u2013 specifically thesprints and hurdles. If we fall to just one medal per multiple medal events,we\u2019re looking at 25 medals \u2013 a much more realistic expectation. Then there isalways the specter of injuries, fatigue, and underperformance \u2013 and dare I say,bobbled batons. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That said however, I believe in every name that is on thislist \u2013 30 medals IS possible, but athletes have to bring their \u201cA\u201d Games. <\/div>\n
