    As the title suggests, vote for which one you think we'll come and we'll see who was right at the end

    But is that just based on how they did in Beijing?

    Nowhere near top 10 obviously. We'll have to give gold medals to potentially dangerous countries like China and Russia to keep the peace.

    Though I hope will do well, it's not really feasible for us to come first, we're such a tiny island, the chances of us beating USA for China are quite slim.

    I would say fifth. We did very well in Beijing but other countries have since invested in sport in their own country so there will be more competition. In addition we will not perform well in cycling because they are very tired after tour de france (which was awesome) and each country can only put one competitor into each event unlike in beijing.

    Lets bloody hope that we can beat the ruskies though!

    Hopefully team GB will do well and if we don't come in the top three, I hope we at least come within the top ten!

    Obviously if we start falling behind then copious amounts of road works will inexplicably deployed, leading competitors will miss their events and be disqualified, and then we'll win.

    When China take over the word in 10 years' time you'll realise. They've been stockpiling more and more weapons for years, and they're always giving weapons to African armies in return for work. When China, Russia and Africa gang up on us they'll be no stopping them. Maybe giving them more gold medals than they deserve this year will slightly delay the war.

    I don't understand why people are referring to China becoming the worlds superpower as "taking over the world" .. Does that mean the USA has currently taken it over?

    Second after the USA, but we'll have the most medals overall. That way it doesn't look too suspicious, and it'll really piss off the USA who insist on using a stupid way of counting 'wins'.

    And we have just stayed still with our development?

    And with regards to the cycling the cyclists will be more than fit for the Olympics they do around 50 000km a year they still ride on their rest days during the tour.

    I am going with third place china and USA aren't catchable at the moment Australia and Russia will be tough to beat but with home advantage I fancy our team to do well!

    I put down 3rd. USA, China and Russia has been pretty consistent in the last 3/4 Olympics coming quite top.
