Olympic 2012

Olympic is around the Corner.

London, England.

Many Great Sports with many Great Warriors competing for Many Medals and Pride for there own Country.

Please, I need your input:

What country do you think will going to get the Most Medal At The End of The Closing Ceremory.

Also, Please tell Us In The TM Community, Who you think will win the Most Medal for Individual Warrior.

Have Fun....Many Great Choices To Choose From....

For Example, I think The USA will going to get the Most Medals at the Closing Ceremony And Michael Phelps will going to win the Most Medals for the Individual Warrior.

I absolutely love the Olympic Games, both summer and winter.  And I am excited to see them in London.  A always, I think the swimming events will be particularly captivating.  The USA Mens comeback victory in the 4 x 100 free last time around was spectacular.  Lezak....Lezak!!!

As for Phelps in the upcoming games, he has mentioned that this will be his last Olympics and that he will compete in fewer, and some different, events.  Where that leaves him in the competition for most medals, we will have to see.

For the country total, the US is always a favorite.  The resources in manpower and finances coupled with the diversity of citizens of many regions gives the US a huge advantage.  But the medals must still be won.  

Overall, I love the competition, the pageantry, the gamesmanship (Alain Bernard anyone?), and the sheer excitement.  And I love that it is in London.

Bring on the games.

And I should have added...Ryan Lochte is a force to watch this year.

dunno, been a fan long long time ago when we end up in the 1-7 top, cant remember exactly, but it was sensation, such a small country with awesome list of athletes...

lost interest bit by bit since and only look at the 100m men final [sprint, not swiming]

I Agree....Lezak is one hell of a freestyle swimmer to watch.

The person to watch on the track and field is Usaine Bolt from Jamaica. One hell of a runner. Can he beat his own World record on the 100 Meter.

Also, for the team competition, can the Dream Team, USA win the Gold or not. Many great teams out there in the beasketball compettiion in the Olympics. Few of the teams to watch out for this years competition are Argentina, France, And Croatia.

the nothing cant beat bolt! last time he blew em all away

you know, like a big boy playing with kids

U are right about that. :)

I think he has been taking way to many Nurtition Vitamin for his hormone system...LOL :)

The only way to beat him is if he got sick or threw up while he was running in the race.

Good Luck to All his competitors. :)

i bet they got not less of anything he do, maybe more

its not a secret. hes the best, thats all

yeah, i recall the names from last year when reading them here, but otherwise i hardly remember any athletes.. it'll be hard to predict anything now.. there'll be half of them new athletes anyways..

for most medals, i think that'll be China
for most gold medals, i think USA

lets rather do predictions/estimations per country per sport? cause at least we know what countries are generally strong in what sport, but going with peoples' names - that is hard..

what country wins what sport?


ps. check https://www.london2012.com/ for everything!!

I think that is great idea Slash.

Many Sports to choose from so I will predict few of them:

Men's Basketball: Gold-USA, Women's Basketball: Gold-USA
Men's Table Tennis: Gold-China, Women's Table Tennis: Gold-China
Men's Futball: Gold-Italy, Women's Futball: Gold-USA
Men's Indoor Volleyball: Gold-USA, Women's Indoor Volleyball: Gold-Brazil
Men's Beach Volleyball: Gold-Brazil, Women's Beach Volleyball: Gold-USA

That is few of them. I will pick more later on.

Many Swimming Events so I will predict individual events later on before the Games, I am just picking some of the team competitions for now.

this is going to be serious..

ill check what i can do for the win

hehe.. what about, we don't go back to our prediction posts, and later when it all boils down - we do go back and count who predicted what? predictions end JULY 25, 2012.

if post is edited after 25-jul-2012 - we assume it was fabricated later, so do prediction finalize predictions until then, and don't touch them after! wanna change it? edit the post with that prediction, and save it no later than 25 Jul 2012 (i can see when posts were edited).

let me do a few of my own:
100 meters men & women, 100 meters relay men & women - Jamaica
200 meters men - Jamaica
400 meters men - Jamaica (i really hope Bolt will do it)
do they learn to run short distance there cause of constant busts on weed smoking? they just run away real quick? lolz..
800, 1500 meters men - Kenya
5000, 10000 meters, marathon men - Ethiopia
20 & 50 km walk men - Russia (50 km WALK in 3.5-4 hours - that is ridiculous... i wouldn't run that long that fast)
high jump & pole vault men - Russia

200 meters women - GBR
400 meters women - USA
100 & 400 meters relay women - Russia
20 km walk women - Russia
high jump, pole vault, long jump women - Russia (yes, russians still got it, i think, in athletics)

archery - all 4 gold medals to South Korea =)

badminton - all 5 medals to China

baseball - Japan

basketball men - USA (as much as i want Lithuania to stick it to US for once, they are weakened as of late)
basketball women - Russia (i hope)

boxing is too hard to predict...

don't care for canoeing

cycling - i'd give like 10 of 18 medals to Great Britain...

diving - all 8 medals to China, they've been truly crazy with diving..

equestrian, field hockey and fencing are ridiculous sports..

football - both men and women - BRAZIL, although women USA can do it too.. who knows..

gymnastics - Chinese domination with, maybe 12 of 18 medals, USA should take another 5, leave 1 for Russia

handball is another ridiculous sport i don't care about..

judo - 4 for China, 4 for Japan, 2 for Azerbaijan

pentathlon - mens Lithuania, womens Ukrain

rowing - is hard to estimate anything there.. who knows..

sailing goes to Brits (4 golds) and Australians (3 golds)

shooting - 5 for China, 4 for Ukraine, 2 for USA

softball - let's give it to Aussies..

swimming - well, with Phelps still dominating, i'd say 14 golds out of 34 for USA, 4 for Australia, 4 for Germans, 2 Japan, 2 UK, 1 Russia

synchro-swimming - Russia beats all with both golds

table tennis - i agree, all 4 medals to China.. centuries of practicing kung-fu give them kind of an advantage...

taekwondo - 3 to South Korea, 2 - Mexico

tennis - men singles Spain, men doubles - dunno, women singles - Russia again, i hope, men doubles - no stopping USA

triathlon - both golds to Australia

volleyball team men - Russia, women - Argentina, beach men Brazil, women - China

weightlifting - give 7 of 15 to China, dunno how they beat Russia, but Russia lost their strong men when they lost all the asian republics like Tajikistan, Uzbekistan etc, give 2 to Kazakhstan, 2 to South Korea, 2 to Tajikistan

wrestling - another Russian-dominated, i hope, 8 of 18 medals to Russia, 3 to Georgia (ex USSR), 2 to Japan, USA, Canada, Ukraine can take 1 each

my top gold 5 medal horders

USA - 40
China - 35
Russia - 30
Great Britain - 30 (have home-advantage this time)
Germany - 20 (although i didn;t name germans almost anywhere, they probably excel in sports that i listed as "don't like")

my top 5 all-medal countries

USA - 100
Russia - 90
China - 80
Great Britain - 60
Australia - 40

so this is my way... you?

thats my predictions as well

i think they are running fast because they are all in constant danger and threat of the police, the dillers or other suspicious elements of their society
