So, who will get the most medals this year..The host country usually does really good..

Lets see, the UK got 146 back in 1908 (But heck, the Olympics were 6 months long that year ) The US got 47.. In 1948 the UK got only 23, the US 84 And in 2008 the UK got 47, the US 110 and China got 100 (although China did get the most golds 51, US 36, UK 19)

[Drunkenclam]

No bookies yet I say 55 for the UK

[MrGneiss]

No betting on the Olympics!!

Just friendly guessing!!

[Sid]

The olympics are about sport in its truist form. Lets not cheapen it with the bookie...

[Drunkenclam]

Ok then a sweepstake

[Card Shark]

No betting??? I need something to satisfy my gambling addiction. I guess that means a poker night!!!

[MrGneiss]

Today's the day, don't forget to watch the Opening Ceremony!!

Last year I went to this one..

We'll see how the Olympic one compares.. I think it seats 1500 and will be taken down after the games..

I can't wait!

I can't imagine how messy it would be to color my beard..I've ruined many shirts just with my hair, but even strangers tell me I should color my beard too!!
