Good link for Projecting the 2012 London Olympics medalists off USA Today site and is updated once a month.

Interesting they have New Zealand winning 7 Gold and 19 medals overall. They did win 8 gold in LA 1984 but most medals they have won at a single games is 13 in Seoul 1988

The fact that Australia is 6th on that list speaks volumes about the amount of good athletes this country produces, in regard to population..

ethiopians and kenyans will win the running, the east german woman will win the male rowing, and the land locked nation of liechenstein will not get within a bulls roar of the english yacthsmen.
