You can win $100 for your guesses if you can find an Olympic forum that is running a contest like that.
Last Summer Olympics Medal Count: Country (Gold/Silver/Bronze) United States 36/39/27 China 32/17/14 Russia 27/27/38 I would expect this year to be about the same. China should win more, since they have "home court" advantage, but not enough to overpower the USA team.
I'm watching the opening ceremonies now. A couple thousand Chinese dressed in green christmas lights running around what appears to be the Chinese Liberachi.
Yes they might be upset USA since their players had a good results in past events and this time we would see neck to neck fight.
We have a large population to draw from. And we have the money to finance the training for the athletes.
I think and want USA and not China to win anytime. If you want to bet, then you can try out the real broker sites or betting exchanges where you can win much much more if you guess right.. good luck..
If China will harvest the most number of gold medals, that will catapult this country into greater power in the future.
Don't worry I will take the maount since you give us 15th Aug as a last day, it will make our work easy.
