Top Commonwealth rivals Kyle Blignaut (RSA, ~22.10m) and Franck Elemba (CMR) trail by roughly 40cm.

Verdict: Miss
Tom Walsh (NZL) gewann NICHT Gold, sondern Silber. Chukwuebuka Enekwechi (Nigeria) sicherte sich mit 21,07 m in der fünften Runde die Goldmedaille – nur 4 cm vor Walsh, der bis dahin mit 21,03 m geführt hatte. Walsh selbst erklärte, Nerven hätten ihn im entscheidenden Moment gebrochen. Die Vorhersage unterschätzte Enekwechi als Rivalen; Quellen: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/849124/tom-walsh-settles-for-commonwealth-games-silver-as-three-peat-bid-falls-short und https://olympic.org.nz/news/walsh-has-to-settle-for-silver-in-shot-put

Manchester City (2026/27 record: 5-1) host SSC Napoli on 24 November 2026 at the Etihad. Bookmaker odds imply ~80% for a City home win (quote ~1/4); a Napoli away win trades at ~10/1 (~9% implied). Statistical models assign City 66% win probability and a draw 18%. Napoli have never won away against a Premier League top-6 side in this Champions League season. Market anchor: bookmaker odds imply 79–80%; own estimate follows the conservative model value of 66%, as Napoli historically respond better to continental pressure than their domestic form alone suggests.

BVB sits 2nd in the Bundesliga after 8 matchdays (18 pts) with the best defence in the league (6 goals conceded). Bookmaker odds for a Dortmund home win imply ~79% (quote ~1.26); statistical models put BVB at 74.96%. Expected Goals: BVB 2.47 xG vs. Elversberg 0.81 xG. Elversberg failed to score in three consecutive away fixtures — no other club in the division is currently as barren on the road. Probability set slightly below market implied to account for Elversberg's proven giant-killing capacity this season.

RB Leipzig have never lost a Bundesliga home fixture against FC Augsburg (10 games: 9 wins, 1 draw). Augsburg are currently on a 6-match winless run (3 draws, 3 losses) — the longest such drought in the top flight right now. Winger Antonio Nusa is in excellent form; a Leipzig win would set a Bundesliga record against Augsburg. Bookmaker odds imply ~60% (quote ~1.65); the unblemished home record and Augsburg's poor form justify raising the estimate to 65%.
