* Gold-Silver-Bronze = Total

China 17-5 -5 = 27

United States 10-8-11 = 29

South Korea 6-6-1 = 13

China will probably come out on top (golds) being the force that they are with a home field advantage. However, Track & Field is a bread and butter discipline for the US, so I think we have a good chance of maybe winning the overall medal count.

Only time will tell.

Thanks for the count B! When does track and field start?

I know that basketball is going on right now, what about baseball/softball?

Did anyone else read that baseball and softball have been cut out of the 2012 olympics?

I assume they are cutting softball because they are cutting baseball. Baseball just isn't exciting without the best players (MLB) involved and there is no way they can cut into the season to allow the players to participate in the Olympics.

Track & Field starts tomorrow.

And remember China's medal count was so high the last two days because they won the men and women team gymnastics.
