What do we think? This year's looks like a belter, with Kemal Celikoglu's three-year reign likely to come to an end now that he’s lost a lung. Klaus Senkfuss has frequently been a bridesmaid, but he doesn't travel that well, and that arthritic finger doesn't seem to be getting any better.
Britain's Ken Snodgrass, who's apparently doing Marlboros this year, finished a surprise second at February's European Invitational and is a genuine contender after his failure in Novosibirsk last year. And I discount the rumours about Wang Li Zhang having contracted emphysema. But my suspicion is that Vern Dillhummer is going to top them all; those Winston Lights are very mild, and at 57 the "Inhalin' Idahoan" is near the top of his game.
Surprised OTFers haven't given more attention to this.
