Damn Paddy Power gave me a free tenner. Must be an extra reward for picking Morikawa for the Open. šŸ˜ ![Screenshot_20210722_161411_com.paddypower.sportsbook.u.inhouse](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/5/4/54b35a94f67efa44f350d289aefeb234f38b6a85.jpeg) ---

Iā€™m going for what I reckon is a shrewd Ā£10 on Manny to win a medal at 18/1 - outside chance that he chucks flip tricks at all the big rails and somehow rolls away. ---

Sora Shirai is worth a punt, at least for a medal. Realistically, menā€™s street is Nyjah vs Yuto. I reckon womenā€™s street is slightly harder to predict. ---
