Analysis:

A lot of pessimistic folks out there and one huge optimist. I went with third assuming that first and second would be wrapped up by the US and China. I think the fight for third could be tight and we do tend to do OK at the Olympics. The most common answers were 7th or 9th which seems quite low, but I guess we've got another week left before we find out the actual answer.

The French will be up there as its a home games, and the Aussies do well, hence my pick of 5th

Your logic makes sense and I think it's a good answer. It was the 9th that I thought was too low, even the 7th, but we will see.

Well, it just goes to show how little I know. 7th it was in the end for Great Britain. The US managed to scrape the overall win over China. Japan came from nowhere to take third.
