Osaka Hammer Throw Predictions

Men
Koji Murofushi is a home favorite, but he just hasn't done enough this year for me to figure him into the medals.

Gold - Ivan Tsikhan (Belarus).

Silver - Primož Kozmus (Slovenia). Split his four meetings with Tsikhon this year.

Bronze - Krisztián Pars (Hungary). The only other thrower to beat Tsikohn this year, and has a 3-3 record versus next best thrower Libor Charfrietag.

Women
World record setter Tatyana Lysenko is out.

Gold - Yipsi Moreno (Cuba). Has a winning record versus all major competitors.

Silver - Ivana Brkljacic (Croatia).

Bronze - Betty Heidler (Germany).
