gnasher16 30,592 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I dont claim to know much about a lot of the sports in the Olympics.................personally i dont think footie should even be in it ! But for you chaps who follow sport if you had to hazard a guess.... A.....How many golds will GB get ? B.....Where will we place in the overall medals table ? From the little i know id guess at maybe 12 golds.......and place 4th behind 1.Yanks.....2.Chinese.......3.Russians. What yous reckon ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnny boy68 11,726 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I'd like to see 20 golds but gnashers 16 is a more realistic number though being a home Olympics GB have a competitor in every event for the first time, so people raising there game could give a few unexpected medals. I think 4th in the medal table is very do-able, good luck to all of Team GB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,716 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I think we'll get 21 golds and I reckon 4th too..... If we do finish 4 th behind the 3 big ones it's a great achievement considering the size of our country..... It's funny I've been watching the swimming heats this morning and a bit of rowing would never watch these events normally the Olympics seem to make you watch all of it..., Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SportingShooter 0 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I think the Yanks had the second biggest team with 530 odd competitors and we had 540 odd and at least one in every category so hopefully we'll be up there on the podium. Fingers crossed. Maybe one of the teams won't like our British weather and not do so well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What yous reckon ? gnash how do you rate the lads chances in the boxing, we got a couple of good lads so I've been told, the lad at light welterweight Tom Stalker is tipped to do well.

I honestly couldnt tell you mate im not really up to speed with the amateur scene.....gonetoearth is your man to ask..... The only one ive really taken an interest in is Anthony Joshua as he,s a heavyweight......he,s got a tough start fighting the Cuban who won a world gold medal,he,s the son of Felix Savon someone told me who won 3 Olympic golds so...............but if he can get passed him i think he,s a great chance of a gold.
