I think they have great potencial. If you disagree, please at least make a comment and tell me WHY you disagree. Thank you
I think China will lead this year's olympic because the game's hosted in their own country which will increase their confidence. They are currently leading with 37 Gold Medals as I know.
It depends what you mean by winning the Olympic games. If you mean by medal count then I don't think there's any question that China are going to win. But I don't think you get any extra prize for finishing top of the medal table.
I think they will since they collect most medals ahead of the closest rival, US. But who knows. Things may change.
40 doesn't seem to far away now right I've been watching the live stream for weeks and it's pretty awesome watching the olympics while coding. If anyone is interested i've written a blogpost about it here that you can use to watch live streams directly http://www.engineeringserver.com/blog/2008/08/19/watch-the-olympics-live-behind-your-computer/
I think they are going to be the leading gold medal winner in this Olympics. because they have done their best for this games...and if you track their performance from last few games you will find that it was continuously increasing. So there will be no surprise if they emerge as a winner.
From the start, they were favourites to win overall. And have the most Gold medals. When you host the event, you are more likely to do well. USA will probably finish second, and third will be a close battle between GB and other places.
Now the top 3 are spread from the rest.. China are 15 ahead of US GB are 8 or so behind US and Aus is 5 behind GB
