Interesting stats here. If you're an athlete with a top three chance, you most probably will go all out for gold instead of settling for silver or bronze. The gold striking rates for the nations with at least 10 gold medals out of total medals are:
China = 57%
Britain = 44%
Germany = 39%
USA = 33%
Australia = 31%
Russia = 27%
China = 57%
Britain = 44%
Germany = 39%
USA = 33%
Australia = 31%
Russia = 27%
Flatteringly, I've received some reputation points for the post above. Thanks!
Actually, the above post was written in response to PM Lee's NDR speech where he said that China, based on its population, has to win 300 medals to be on par with Singapore's achievement. What crap? 
Other countries can say that but Singapore cannot. All Singapore medalists from Tan Howe Liang to Li Jiawei, Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu were born in China. PM Lee's completely insensitive and lost plot.
Anyway, there aren't so many events for any country to win 300 medals.
You know all these ministers know crap about sports. The last time Lau Goh mention that we show copy Man Utd during the season they brough Veron and Ruud, in the end, Man Utd end their season with nothing and Veron being declare as a flop. And there is this Marlboro Tan who mention goal 2010. But what have they really did? Talk is cheap but it keep us entertain for their so call insight. hahahha
Today, August 21, 2008:
"If the medal table is adjusted for countries' GDP per capita, scaling the size of the economy by the population, impoverished North Korea is the top performer with two gold, one silver and three bronze medals, followed by China (43-14-19) and Zimbabwe (1-3-0) ... Singapore is ranked last of the 75 countries on the table."

great britain is now laying 3rd in the table standing.....
Above is my earlier prediction. So far all hit the target. The only think can be wrong is China may get more than 50 GOLD.
Look like G. Britain is chasing very hard this Olympic maybe because they will be host for the Olympic 2012.
Russia might get slightly more than 20 Gold but sure will be less than 25 Gold medal.
For the US 100% will be less than 35 Gold.
Most thinking of GOLD but the have to settle for 2nd/3rd place because others are better than them.
a bit disappointed with US.
just look at those athletic events that they once dominate,now lost most of them.
just to tell the world that without the assistance of drugs,they are nobody.
some more still not pai-seh and keep saying that other people on drugs to win medals.

Yes, even if China eventually get more than 50 gold medals, your forecasts are considered very accurate. Congratulations! The only surprise is that Russia now have to fight Britain for the 3rd spot.
Earlier, I was expecting the US to narrow its gap with table-topping China through the athletic events, but the US seem to be losing every event. Even in events traditionally dominated by the US, the sprints and the relays, zero gold medal for the US.
Russia now is 4th place just behind by 2 Gold medal. It will take over G. Britain for 3 spot no problem at all.

Russia has now narrowed the gap to one gold medal between themselves and Britain, thanks to a Jamaican cockup in the women's relay that disqualified both Jamaica and Britain.
Anyway, for fun's sake, I'll take Britain to stay 3rd and you'll take Russia to overtake 3rd. For fairness' sake, I'll give you one gold medal handicap; silver and bronze medals don't count. How? On?
(This offer remains valid only when Britain lead Russia by one gold medal or more.)
