Olympics: Total Medals Won. Opinions please

USA "under" 95.5 -110

Russia "over" 81.5 -115
Russia "under" 81.5 -125

does anyone know why china's medal count expectations are so high?
Is it just because they are host country because i see them having won 59 in 2000 and 63 in '04.
98.5 is a huge jump...

KB i run track semi pro so was at the T&F trials and can give you an idea of medal numbers for Track and Field in a bit but off the top of my head i'd say it will be less that in 04

Why cant I find a medal count on Canada anywhere? And hold your jokes please..

Canada O/U Medal count is 9.5

I say go UNDER. Curling gives them 4 medals and after that, i don't see where they would get 6 more!

Good Point, definately go UNDER than!


I was going to say Ben Johnson would win a couple but he is shooting up somewhere in Calgary i heard! lol

[Chado1]

Yea I guess they dont even have a medal count for the summer olympics cause I am pretty sure that is the one we suck badly at. Unless there is "lawn" curling or "field" hockey I dont see how we could be the best over any other countries for a warm climate sport..

Canada's 1500m champion raced against me in college...rooting for him to medal!

Where's Chuckie Cheese when you need him? He can definitely give you an accurate count and his direct competition in the 40!
