Schippers has pulled out of the 100 as well, in case that affects anyone's predictions.

[LoveSprints1]

Thank you. I can't imagine that Schippers was in anyone's top 3 in 2021. Great that she is still competing though but she is no SAFP.

I've tried posting mine but it's both been unapproved and disappeared.

LoveSprints1 , there's two issues with your Part 2 ...

W 3000SC - There's no Demewoz entered M 5000 - Gebrhiwet isn't entered

Latest entries, as of 26 July, are at the link in the comments.

LuckySpikes ... Blimey with Ingerbritsen withdrawn and no Gebrhiwet in the 5000, I am down to two from the required 4! I dont want to edit my original again to incur AW's disapprova for the third time l...

[LoveSprints1]

Many thanks LuckySpikes I have updated.

Don't panic. If you're logged in you'll see your Unapproved post with a green background. Copy and paste it into a new post.

[JamieSLA]

Thanks mate

[JamieSLA]

It's not playing ball, i'll try again tomorrow!

[philipo]

Still some nail biting but tomorrow am I have to make up my mind.

[philipo]

If when I get my predictions out tomorrow I get the dreaded unapproved I will set it out again, even in separate sections. I am quite hopeless at copy and paste stuff. Fingers crossed.

[philipo]

Although Melak and Mengeshe are down to compete for Ethiopian in the 5K, I read that the chaotic fight between their Olympic committee, interested only in medals, are at war with their selection authority who based their choices on the Trials in Hengelo..
Apparently Edris and Gebrehiwet have been selected for the 5K, even though they did not qualify for the 5 K. I will stick with the choices as shown to be competing officially; why do WA allow this dishonest shenanigans. This info comes from Letsrun. com. It certainly may screw up ones predictions.Why cannot Kenya and Ethiopia behave in a transparent way.?? Are they going to be allowed to just turn up and WA turn a blind eye. Lucky, any observations???

[LuckySpikes]

Given the problems people are having with AW's ridiculously over-sensitive anti-spam measures, I will allow people to make edits to their predictions in a new separate post. It just means I'll have to be a bit more organised in recording entries.

Yes, philipo , shenanigans indeed! If it does transpire that Ethiopia do change their teams after our Contest closing time I will allow some extra editing of predictions on the day for those distance races affected. If that does happen, contestants will need to stay up to date with posts on this thread in order to not miss their chance to edit those predictions.

[LuckySpikes]

JamieSLA and anyone else who finds their entry isn't approved ... If you're not successful close to the closing time (early Friday morning 12.50am), you can Private Message your entry to me via https://forum.athleticsweekly.com/member/29-luckyspikes and I'll do my best to post it on your behalf.

What a palaver, eh?!

No Bradshaw for top 6 is interesting. I'm inclined to agree with you on Katir.

[philipo]

i picked 4 athletes where Hassan and Miller Uibo were concerned and may not turn up. I have seen that the Ethiopians sem to break rules and have chosen Gebrehiwet for m 5000m. Bit off the wall on that event.
