That doesn't go into track cycling? Track cyclists are, without a doubt, the most finely-tuned athletes in the world. The British and Australian pursuit teams are just about the most analysed athletes in the world, at the very least, and I'm certain the team pursuit final will be one of the absolute highlights of the London games.

Phew, doing the medal tally for that last round took over an hour. A particularly interesting one, though, to trawl through games-by-games. Finland, for example, got 4 of it's golds at Helsinki in 1952.. where they only got two other Gold medals at their home games. After that, and beforehand, they were pretty much not on the scene at all. Pre-Barcelona, Hungary had a LOT of silvers and barely any golds, and Poland still has none. NZ thumps Australia on gold, but the Aussies have a big bag of bronzes to jump above them, and the USA are well below the Canadians. Also, Czechoslovakia won heaps of medals early, and then absolutely nothing post-war until both the Czechs and Slovaks won medals in Atlanta.


Anyway, my vote this time round:

Gold: Canoe/Kayak Slalom
Silver: Weightlifting
Bronze: Artistic Gymnastics
