In case you have not heard, the World Championships will kick off in Daegu South Korea this weekend. The nine-day event will crown the best in the world in each event and establish the favorites for next year's London Olympics.
Kara Goucher finished third in the 10,000 meters of the 2007 World Championships and she has been gearing up for a return to the same race following the birth of her son last September. Unfortunately, she was dealt a setback recently with a diagnosis of a stress reaction of the femur.
Goucher reports that her fitness remains very strong but she seems unsure exactly how everything will unfold. Let us know how you think she will run by answering this question...
Yes/No: Will Kara Goucher finish in the top ten in the 10,000 meters at the World Championships in Daegu?
Goucher's major race this year was the Boston Marathon where she finished fifth in a personal best 2:24:52. To qualify for the World Championship team, Goucher ran the 10,000 meters at the USA Championships and placed second in 31:16.

To play our game, simply type "yes" or "no" into the subject line of an e-mail and send it to us at DtBFantasy [AT] gmail [DOT] com before 6:45 A.M. CDT, Saturday, August 27th. Please put your answers in the subject line of the e-mail and make sure your full name appears somewhere in the e-mail. We will offer our usual bonus for participants making their 2011 debut in Yes/No - a correct answer will be worth two points for anyone who has not played yet this year.
My answer: Yes
Last week's question was: Will six or more runners break 20:00 at the Buttered Corn Day 5K? The correct answer was no. Two people finished under 20 minutes and Duane Otfedahl took the victory in 18:02. Eighteen people answered correctly this week but that number included only one of the previous week's co-leaders. Therefore we have a new sole leader - Patrick Eastman with 21 points. The chase pack is ready to pounce; three contestants have 20 points, three have 19 and three have 18.
