I think its pretty obvious that the Americans will win the overall medals but when you consider how much money and how much time is spent on developing the vast number of potential athletes in the country, it is hardly surprising. They are currently top and that is before they dominate the track events.

I like watching the Olympics becasue there's always a sense of the underdog for the British in most events, which makes it more special if one of our athletes wins a medal. The only events in which the Brits normally expect success are the boat events. Rowing, Sailing etc, Britain has obtained a dominance over in recent years, so its nice to see the Boy Hoy winning Gold in the Cycling events. I certainly have enjoyed watching the British athletes compete.
