Medal Tally Beijing Olympics

Who does WAB feel will be in the top 6?

I am guessing the following

1. USA
2. China
3. Russia
4. Australia
5. Germany
6. Japan


It will be very interesting to see if China can pip USA for first place...with home ground advantage. Also a way for them to show the rest of the world.

and Australia certainly top 5, we tend to outperform in these things....god knows why

the 1st 3 countries are OK.
I do not think China can beat US despite being the host.
perhaps, Germany beats Australia and becomes the 4th.

would like to see Turkey as the 6th.
