The following question was presented:

Hopefully nobody's missed the fact that the Olympics have started. No point asking who you think will win, although China, being the host nation, could upset the US - we'll have to see.

Instead I'm going to focus on my home country and ask - how many gold medals do you think Great Britain will win?

Analysis:

A lot of confidence in GBR! After posting this, I did think that I should have asked the question as to whether Great Britain would get more gold medals than Michael Phelps. Given the responses received on this vote, however, it seems that the answer would have been yes as all the responses are 8 and above. (And they would have been correct given that this has been a great weekend for Britain in the cycling and rowing)

Well, we'll have to come back to this one to see whether anyone got it right. I hope the 13+ voters are correct, but we will wait and see - only three more to get there at the time of writing this analysis as we're currently on 11. In the meantime, enjoy the games.
