China won the first Gold. So now 2 Gold has been taken. China - 1 Gold Czech Republic- 1 Gold Russian Fed. - 1 Silver Turkey- 1 Sliver Croatia- 1 Bronze Chinese Taipei- 1 Bronze
I have heard that China is supposed to overtake the US this year in total medals. Let's see if it will happen
Well it must be close in this Olympics. Don't forgot if other country won Gold more than it effect on USA and China's medals.
You have forgotten Russia, it has the chance to the the spoiler of the show. Russians are fantastic even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it can be seen that even their small fragmented republics did well in the Olympics, not to mention Russia. China, though has the advantage of being a host. But I would expect a close fight nonetheless.
What about african countries like Kenya or Zimbabwe? They can bag almost all the gold medals in the Track events. What do you all think?
The title is close enough. They were wonderful, but I have seen better torch lighting in other Olympics. They will get some in the Track & Field events, but not enough to lead the Medal Count.
I'm looking forward to the watching Dara Torres, and Michael Phelps swim tonight. I hope Phelps can pull off 8 gold medals. Tomorrow is going to be US Vs. China in basketball. It's supposed to be one of the biggest sporting events to ever happen. The estimation is 1 billion+ people might watch it. I think it has the possibility of being a very good game. China will play with a lot of pride, and the US will give it their all.
i think it would be china to get the more no of gold this time as china has challenged that they would be the first one to get the more no of gold bcoz in last olympics they were on second place
Yup, Fencing gives 3 Medals to USA 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze. Who knows they have more medals from Fencing.
