Rudisha or Symmonds, who's the bigger story?


So we met this morning at 6:00am for an Olympic planning session at the Flocasts HQ. We took a peek through every event throughout the Games to see what the big stories were that people would interested in. For the most part we all had a good grasp and similar opinions on the big names and most compelling happenings around track & field at the Olympics, with the exception of one. The men's 800 meter final. 

Mark and I saw different sides to what people (more specifically the Flotrack community) would be interested in the most.....David Rudisha or Nick Symmonds. With the interns in the room it came down to a near split vote and no agreement could be made. This is when we decided to take it to the streets and let the people decide!

So what do you think? Assuming both athletes make it to the 800 meter final in London, who will you be most interested in....Rudisha or Symmonds?
