Olympics :Where do you think your country will score medals?

[dom]

dom but u gota leave some sports for the winter, or else there would be nothing to watch in the winter. Summer has basketball and soccer, 2 best sports . BTW saying usa have more players thats cuz they have good player that can qualify, u have to be good to qualify.

Having a population of 300,000,000 against a population of a country like Bulgaria (7,000,000) helps too.

Then blame the small minority of people like you that give the US the reputation of being a pompous and arrogant nation?

You gotta have money also. Canada will come around 13. Now that the government is giving money for Medals the number of medals will start to go up from now on. Canada will get a medal in Girls soccer.

Despite what people might think Euro Females suck at Soccer. North America has the best Countries.

The Netherlands did pretty well last time with:

Badminton, female hockey, swimming, (dunno in english:) Turnen(male, the Jouri van Gelder or something), Judo(the big guy from the Knorr commercials), and horseriding(Anky, Geert Sloothaak, Schrueder)..

because a lot of German horseriders are for holland, though Germany is also very good in horseriding..

USA; I'm guessing Swimming/Basketball/Track and Field/maybe in Gmynastics/Volleyball and some others that I can't think of atm.

[Snoopy]

Australia - Swimming, Water Polo, Volleyball, Cycling, Diving, Softball, and possibly Rowing, not to mention womens Basketball.

Australia generally comes about 4th - 5th. Which isn't bad for a nation of 20 million, going up against countries with 20 times our population.

current standings

china is leading y gold medal count, us is leading by medal count

[Jstar1]

South Korea is very good at technical sports like archery, taekwondo, judo, boxing, etc. Swimming is an exception because we got a really good player this year.

South Korea usually ends up in the top 10, which is really great because we are such a small country.

And its given that china is getting the most medals, the host country almost always does really good because they play in their home. So I wouldn't be surprised if China does very well.

[crazyskwrls]

china always do really well

[Krevidy]

Holland will take gold with Baseball for sure.

[CrimsonNuker]

My friend told me

"Canada said they will aim to be in the top 16"
"China said they will aim to be on top"

[XemnasXD]

[PuppetOfGaea]

After checking the official news, it seems they already did single sculls, and the Dutch placed 2nd in their heat... not bad.

China will this year.

[Snoopy]

Steph Rice did amazing in the Womens 400m IM. Broke record.

[Peaslums]

USA will own almost all around. but our gymnastics sucks now that we lost the Hamm twins. but everywhere else, we'll more than likely clean house like usual. China's good, but we're friggin america; and hell yes im arrogant .

though if anyone here (thats american) has a decent memory, do you remember last summer games where phelps was the hero that everyone was saying could get 8 golds? seems like deja vu this olympics. wierd.
