If tosin oke ever got a last phase he'd be alright.. Dude's jump phase is terrible.

@Trackie17 forgot about tamhgo?

[Trackie17]

@geovora043 Yeah, true... Tamgho did perform rather poorly at the European Champs last year.

El-Sheryf: He did really well at U23, but you could say that was a low pressure situation, and not much is known about him so who knows how well he'll do.

Taylor: He did extremely well at NCAA (though wind-aided) and well at his national championships. He seems like the laid back type of athlete who'll just get it done when the day comes, regardless of whatever pressure there may be.

@Trackie17 Maybe. Will the occasion get to them though? Tamgho's the same, amazing jumper during low pressure situations, but unable to control his emotions on the big stage.
