Will the Aussies win any more Gold???

Question

Now that the swimming has wound up and we seem to have dudded out a bit in cycling, sailing, shooting and our chance in athletics is looking grim. Who are our best chances left for Gold??? Come on you good things..

Answer 1

Well we have one certain Gold in sailing and a 99.9% chance of another sailing gold, so that will boost us to 10 Golds. Which will mean Michael Phelps hasn't beaten us. We might pick up a Gold or 2 in the remaining cycling events. Also Triathlon might be a goer, as well as some of the team sports like Hockey and Softball. We might get a surprise Gold in Diving or a totally and utterly unexpected Gold in the Synchro Swimming

Answer 2

To be honest, I am not sure.  Right now the leading country in golds is China, which is impressive at the very least.  The US will probably catch up and it will be a close race for total golds but overall is the US probably.  Aussies have a tough road ahead of them if they want to attain the top three in the medal count.  The weather is rough.

Answer 3

Anything can happen, you never know.  There is still the hockey and I'm sure there are other events we will have a chance at - Maybe the hurdles!  Who knows.  Fingers crosses and go the Aussies.

Answer 4

I hope so.

There are a couple virtually guaranteed from Sailing and we still have the Opals, hockey and other team sports.

In addition there always seems to be some freak who comes from no where to win gold, but that could happen in any country.
