The Olympic medal table
- Thread starter Stat Brother
- Start date
The yanks have five times our population, and two times the gold, the Chinese 10 times the population and again about twice the gold - pro-rata .....do the maths.
Brilliant total, golds per head of population we are now the standard
Being British, we should not be mean, we should congratulate the Aussies on their one shiny gold medal too, don't you think?

I stand by 5th.
And i do not claim to be an athletics expert in any way shape or form btw-
So you just picked a number out of the air with no thought behind it. Congratulations.

... and I'm sure the Aussies would like to cheer the success of New Zealand, with their three golds.Being British, we should not be mean, we should congratulate the Aussies on their one shiny gold medal too, don't you think?

No Bainsley today. Tomorrow in the medal race the top ten in his fleet will race. When Ben beats the Dane in the race he will become the Gold Medallist.
Tomorrow the wind will be lighter than it has been all week, and from a slightly different direction. Because they are racing on the inshore coarse the wind will be shifty, the fat Dane will not go as fast as he has been, and even if he does Ben will do a job on him as he did to Scheidt in Sydney in 2000.
I'm not biased!

nope i went into the games thinking we would finish 5th (total medals)-not an expert but i have followed since 1984 various olympics-
Japan only need a few Golds and the would be right up there.

It's what i felt going into the games-i will stand by that prediction and be hopefully proven wrong,i cannot lie and say anything else.

Anyway this thread is not about me and 5th is it-that's why i love Nsc-seriously though a week ago we were way adrift in the table and a week from now we could have slipped to 5th 
but can we challenge the top 2 was the OP's original question and i say no.
