Pretty much as expected on the general overview I think China first, America second. Then France a way back in third. A bit of a surprise that North Korea are in fourth currently but that probably won't last much longer since I don't think they're expected to do anything more really? e: oh NK down to fifth now | ||

I know that France is doing pretty good compared to '08. Our judoka's are doing pretty bad. We've had several pretty good ones flunk out. | ||

Your media can't be happy so far. Magnussen better shave and win that 100m free tomorrow | ||

China is stronger at some of the earlier events imo so it's no surprise they are leading in golds atm. The USA will probably try to make up the ground in track and field where they usually do very well and China isn't really known as that strong competitor compared to their other events | ||
