SI's "What to Watch"

As you're following the decathlon, this site does a forecast of how things will work out in the end.
Also, be aware of the following numbers: 37.40 and 41.37. Those are the 4x100 world records (the latter, set by a doped-to-the-gills East German squad, is likely unreachable; 41.47 is probably the real record).
