The Beijing Olympics start soon so I thought I'd do a sweepstake. This one's a bit different to usual. Instead of picking teams, we're picking sports. The winner of the sweepstake will be the person who picks the sport that Great Britain has the most success in at the Beijing games. Points will be awarded for each medal as follows: Gold = 10, Silver = 5, Bronze = 1. Whoever has the most points at the end of the Olympics will be the winner.
Pick ONE number between 1 and 21. Each number corresponds with an Olympic sport. Sports that have no British representation in Beijing are not available to be chosen. For the purposes of this game, the different aquatic sports (swimming, diving, synchronised swimming) are listed separately.
Good luck everybody and can someone pick a number for me, please?
1. Fencing (Robin)
2. Diving (- C | N -)
3. Hockey (Smurfie)
4. Archery (Anne Marie)
5. Sailing (Paul)
6. Equestrian (Manic)
7. Tennis (misterhamster)
8.
9. Triathlon (Si)
10. Rowing (Pablo)
11.
12. Badminton (Little Chicken)
13. Judo (Andy)
14. Swimming (frag)
15. Athletics (Arcadia)
16. Shooting (tdino)
17. Cycling (paulgilb)
18.
19. Boxing (Maximo Mark)
20.
21. Gymnastics (Doctor Blind)
