Matt Reed (USA)
2008 Olympian
Men
Gold: Alistair Brownlee
Silver: Javier Gomez
Bronze: Jonny Brownlee
Gomez was the man to beat for three years. The race that he got beat at was the Games in Beijing. He knows the feeling of going home empty-handed and will do what it takes to leave London with a medal. All three of these athletes have the full package.
Women
Gold: Helen Jenkins
Silver: Erin Densham
Bronze: Totally up in the air.
Paula Findlay is in there if she is not injured.
