"It’s easy to pick the women who have won or had great performances in the months leading up to the Olympics to win or make the podium. In ‘08 there weren’t any real surprises. Hopefully there will be at least one this time. The men on the other-hand are a different story… It’s all going to come down to who will nail their taper, have protected their bodies from injury, and managed the hype and excitement better than the rest leading into the final stretch from the spring time all the way to breaking the tape on race day."

- Matt Chrabot, nearly man for the US Olympic Triathlon team, nails it.
