In a sport dominated by black athletes from the US, Jamaica and Great Britain, Australian Sally Pearson is an anomaly. She will enter the 100m hurdles as favorite. The Aussie powerhouse has suffered a couple of hiccups in the lead up to the Games, but expect her to come out and claim gold. Just be careful not to bet on her with an Australian bookmaker as you won’t be getting your money’s worth.
