Team GB and NI medal predictions

MrOneLungMrOneLung
edited July 2012 in Other Football and Sports
In Beijing we won 19 golds and 47 medals in total.
What do you think this year - a surge of medals in front of the home crowd, or a disappointing array of medals as the weight of expectation crushes our team.

I think probably less golds but more medals in total. Will plump for:

16 golds and 58 medals.

    16 Gold, 49 medals, 4th place.
    Which would be a massive achievement for a country with the 22nd largest population.

    Goldman Sachs produced this http://www.goldmansachs.com/our-thinking/topics/global-economic-outlook/olympics-and-economics-.pdf

    They predict 30 golds and a total of 65 medals, that would be very impressive

    should we not predict our medal haul split into those that are actually British and those that are foreign? (51% of the British squad are actually foreign).

    Who are the NI athletes batting for then? Presumably not team GB or it would be team UK.

    It is the media and fans who have coined the phrase Team GB.
    We are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly referred to as Great Britain with the international country identifier GBR. Northern Ireland are batting for you and me.

    If I was from NI I guess I would rather it was Team UK ...but it's complicated over there. In rugby they bat for Ireland.

    The road cycling team is going to seriously f**k up the minds of some of the little englanders on here. One Belgium born who's half Australian, one Kenyan Born, one born in Malta, and someone from the Isle of Mann

    Heard it on the radio. Doesn't really bother me just surprised me that's all.

    As said above doesn't bother me one iota just more than a little surprising.
