The best improved country on the medal tally now is surely Britain. They have their traditional share of a few gold medals here and there.
they will be aiming 4 the top three position in the next olympics as itz held in london......

The English-speaking countries (USA, Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Jamaica) have a combined population less than half of China's, but have a combined gold medal tally of 57 versus China 42. Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei haven't contributed any gold medal yet to the Chinese-speaking circle. I don't know whether to count Singapore as English-speaking or Chinese-speaking. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Singapore haven't won a gold medal too.
I predict China will be getting min 35 Gold.
Here my prediction for GOLD medal
1. China 35~50max.
2. USA 25~35 max.
3. Russia 10~20.
Interesting stats here. If you're an athlete with a top three chance, you most probably will go all out for gold instead of settling for silver or bronze. The gold striking rates for the nations with at least 10 gold medals out of total medals are:
China = 57%
Britain = 44%
Germany = 39%
USA = 33%
Australia = 31%
Russia = 27%
Above is my earlier prediction. So far all hit the target. The only think can be wrong is China may get more than 50 GOLD.
Look like G. Britain is chasing very hard this Olympic maybe because they will be host for the Olympic 2012.
Russia might get slightly more than 20 Gold but sure will be less than 25 Gold medal.
For the US 100% will be less than 35 Gold.
a bit disappointed with US.
just look at those athletic events that they once dominate,now lost most of them.
just to tell the world that without the assistance of drugs,they are nobody.
some more still not pai-seh and keep saying that other people on drugs to win medals.
Yes, even if China eventually get more than 50 gold medals, your forecasts are considered very accurate. Congratulations! The only surprise is that Russia now have to fight Britain for the 3rd spot.
Russia now is 4th place just behind by 2 Gold medal. It will take over G. Britain for 3 spot no problem at all.
Russia will overtake by Britain by 2 gold or more. I take your bet.
