I had lots of internal debate, especially in the 60\u2019s and the men\u2019s field events \u2013 competitions that I expect will be very close. Actually, looking over the start lists, with the exception of a handful of events, the battles for medals in Istanbul should be fierce. This should be a very exciting meet!<\/p>\n
