5 Gold!!! Hello If The Country gets poor we sell the gold and get the Money =] haha jk

I like Cycling not gonna lie.

Answer 3

i believe winning a medal in reasonable sport matters a lot not like stupid sport like cycling and sailing or evening shooting. c**p who cares.

A sport where everyone gets to compete and its fair is what i believe in.

Football (soccer), is a game where everyone is got a chance to compete regardless of nationality and economics.

So, if my nation only win one medal in a reasonable game, i say its great than winning fifty something medal in some redundant sports.  

Answer 4

give it a rest already

Answer 5

hm i think the sports that have so many medals aren't that special to win, but at the same time i don't think they are "stupid" sports, i really only watch football (soccer) but i respect other athletes and sports :)

people are kind of taking winning olympic medals too seriously why care which country wins the most, people say US and China win because they have tons of people but seriously China is a third world country and in the US only 1/3 of the people are in shape, the other 2/3 are evenly divided as overweight and obese - scary because most young people are thin, they just aren't healthy and get fat when they are old

Answer 6

...in sport that means something-football :)

dobar avatar brate!

Answer 7

Erm MJ! GB is not three countries LMAO!!

England, Scotland and Wales are not countries haha. It's like saying california is a country. Plus then it would be four, as Northern Ireland is part of it hehe

Anyways, besides geography n politic lesson, Id prefer myself if italy won a decent medal, but at the end of the day for the athlete's, for the country and for the overall sport any medal is equally as important.

Answer 8

"England, Scotland and Wales are not countries haha. It's like saying california is a country. Plus then it would be four, as Northern Ireland is part of it hehe"

Dont know in which school did you go Marco. lol

Serbia = California. If USA ripped apart like Yugoslavia did what would Cali be than? lol

And Northern Ireland is just part of UK, not GB. lol and yes Marco GB IS 3 countries, UK has 4 countries. Sheesh sorry but u can learn me many stuff, but not geography. lol

Anywho... i said this at one of Stefy's Q's! USA & China can win 100 medals... 95 of them are in gymnastic, sailing, wrestling etc like WHO CARES? haha

And of course i'd choose 1 gold medal from an actually SPORT.

Answer 9

Don't like basketball, handball or tennis. Just wish the Olympics would get back to 'fastest, highest, strongest' and do away with team sports.

Athletics is what it should really be about.

I don't mind a bit of (less than we have) cycling though - it counts as fastest.

Answer 10

Every sport matters, they're athletes that train hard so I don't see the point...

Answer 11

oh who cares a gold is a gold. my country hasnt won one but it'd be awsm if we finally get one and idc if its in hurling (when it bec an olymps sport maybe we'll hav a chance lol).and dont knock sailing, its cool.

(btw how are england, scotland and wales "not countries" ??)

Answer 12

Hey rowing rocks!  Cycling is cool too.  Sailing....well not so much of a sport.

Honestly I think the Olympics are a big joke.  It's fluff and propaganda.  I just wish they'd show the damned fake sports and stop with the commentary.  But again.....rowing is a hella cool sport.

Answer 13

yes like in football

Answer 14

yeah, i agree. rather win football than some **** sport like softball, baseball and all that ****.
