Medal Predictions

Post by Tassie Blues »

Good link for Projecting the 2012 London Olympics medalists off USA Today site and is updated once a month.

Interesting they have New Zealand winning 7 Gold and 19 medals overall. They did win 8 gold in LA 1984 but most medals they have won at a single games is 13 in Seoul 1988

Weight of expectation will crush them, it will be like a team full of Tim Henman's
The Poms fail at nearly every big event.

The fact that Australia is 6th on that list speaks volumes about the amount of good athletes this country produces, in regard to population..

ethiopians and kenyans will win the running, the east german woman will win the male rowing, and the land locked nation of liechenstein will not get within a bulls roar of the english yacthsmen.

Very true ... especially compared to the fact that 1 in 4 people on Eartth are Chinese and they have only a couple of dozen decent athletes amongst them.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.
