RECOUNTING PENDING (VISUAL COUNT):
1. POL 113 -- Poland will win, since they will not have to "slave" through the World Cup, and, since other teams will not fight to make the World Cup (the 2nd string Russian athletes would love to); moreover, such Polish athletes as Mrs. Chojecka, and two male pole vaulters as do mnay other Polish athletes do need either minimum A or Polish athletic federation's minimum for the up-coming world championships -- for some unknown reason, (www.pzla.com) PZLA allowed Polish athletes to qualify only until 1 July 2007.
2. GBR 110 -- not as Great as the name of the country would suggest
3. GER 105 -- a team that is getting there, since the Unification, but has not made it as of yet
4. FRA 100 -- they are not in the top shape by far
5. RUS 93 -- not the World Cup year
6. BEL -- they have made great strides, and should stay
7. GRE -- in spite of some superb athletes, they will get relagated
8. UKR -- I would love for Ukraine to hang around, but I would view even the 7th place as their great success

I have to post somebody else's prediction:
