hmmm - Murray will have the disadvantage of a small field - but the advantage of a hilly bike course weighs more I think - if he can catch the lead group, especially via that phenom Kiwi biker Davison - Murray can take the gold. If he misses the Davison train its Royle on top.
Jackson just needs a strong front pack swim, her strength at climbing will keep her in the pack, and her run should give her a podium. I expect the pace to be on in the swim and early bike as Sweetland, Samuels and Moffat try to get away early without Jackson - with Sweetland peaking at the right time for the gold.
