Default Who to Watch at the Beijing Olympics

After reading about a few athletes participating a thread seems in order.

2004 Gold Medal hammer thrower Koji Murofushi is one strong SOB. I read in training he easily cleaned 190kg with a double overhand grip (bw of 215lbs) and did the #3 Capt of Crush on his first try.

Another one I'm looking forward to is 56kg Oly lifter Hoang Anh Tuan, aong with Melanie Roach and Burgener of course.

Who else?
