I agree with these. I'd love to see Sarah take gold, but I think with her injury rehab she won't be on 100% top form.
I dont know about Page, would like to see her win but I think she is not in the top four.

Is there money involved in the pool?

Judges play a role but with the EBP it will be much harder to do that. Sarah Stevenson is the hometown girl so the calls will probably go her way. Like in any other sport. You also have replay which helps to make sure that bias is limited.

The Korean dominated the Egyptian at the world qualifier. Paige will meet the Egyptian in the quarter finals. Although the Egyptian is #1 in the world I believe Paige can beat her based on a like Opponent which was Grenada.
The thing I have notice about Page is sometimes she waits a little to long to start the attack. I see opening and it takes her a split second to see it as well and that might get her in trouble with the stronger competitors. Love her game but hate that hesitation she has sometimes.

I see your point! she is a lead leg counter fighter. She maybe more passive than some would like. I watched all her fights at worlds on WTF TV? I believe she has the right style for the draw as I see it. If the draw changes up everything will change.
The other question is her age will she be able to deal with the pressure. Based my assumptions I believe she is in the best situation possible for her to medal.
The opposite is true for Steven. He is in the worst possible situation. Based on draw and has created a big hill to climb.
