...should win the shotput, pole vault, hammer throw, and high jump, seems likely to take the javelin, discus and broad jump. But South Africa's Mai Spence is rated the world's best in the 400 meters by Europe's experts, and Jamaica's George Kerr will be the man to beat in the 800 meters. Jim Beatty in the 5,000 meters and Dyrol Burleson in the 1,500 meters give the U.S. its strongest candidates in years, but both will go to Rome as long shots against European and Russian distance...

The judgment is difficult to dispute.
