With the London Olympics just around the corner, it's time for Olympics Predicta!
It works like this:
Listed below are 16 events from the Olympics - one for each day of the Games.
You must predict which country will win the gold medal in that event. You will score 10 points if that country wins gold, 5 points for silver and 2 for bronze. If your country wins more than one medal in that event, you will only earn points for the higher placing.
(M) = men's events, (W) = women's events
The events:
Day 1: CYCLING - Road race (M)
Day 2: ARCHERY - Team competition (W)
Day 3: SWIMMING - 100m backstroke (M)
Day 4: WEIGHTLIFTING - 63kg (W)
Day 5: ROWING - Eight (M)
Day 6: GYMNASTICS - Individual all-around (W)
Day 7: SHOOTING - 25m rapid fire pistol (M)
Day 8: TENNIS - Singles (W)
Day 9: ATHLETICS - 100m (M)
Day 10: SAILING - Laser radial class (W)
Day 11: TRIATHLON - (M)
Day 12: VOLLEYBALL - Beach (W)
Day 13: EQUESTRIAN - Individual dressage
Day 14: HOCKEY - (W)
Day 15: CANOEING - K1 200m (M)
Day 16: BOXING - Super heavyweight (M)
You can edit your choices in a separate post but you can't edit your choice for an event once it has started, eg once the hockey competition has begun, you can't change your choice for gold medal winner but you can still change your choice for 100m gold medal winner during the first week of the Games.
