Title: help - fantasy olympics Post by: ACE2M on July 26, 2012, 10:00:37 AM you can only pick a nation once for each discipline, i got stuck after 4, who's good at wrestling? 5pts for a gold, 3 for a silver, 1 for a bronze.
Gold Medals Available Country Pick Archery 4 Athletics 47 Jamaica Badminton 5 Basketball 2 Beach Volleyball 2 Boxing 13 Cuba Canoe Slalom 4 Canoe Sprint 12 Cycling - BMX 2 Cycling - Mountain Bike 2 Cycling - Road 4 Cycling - Track 10 Great Britain Diving 8 Equestrian 6 Fencing 10 Football 2 Gymnastics - Artistic 14 Gymnastics - Rhythmic 2 Gymnastics - Trampoline 2 Handball 2 Hockey 2 Judo 14 Modern Pentathlon 2 Rowing 14 Sailing 10 Shooting 15 Swimming 34 USA Synchronised Swimming 2 Table Tennis 4 Taekwondo 8 Tennis 5 Triathlon 2 Volleyball 2 Water Polo 2 Weightlifting 15 Wrestling 18 Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: AndrewT on July 26, 2012, 10:14:37 AM Surely you pick Australia for swimming?
Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: TightEnd on July 26, 2012, 10:18:40 AM Diving: China
Wrestling; Azerbaijan. 4 golds at Beijing Hockey: Try India or Pakistan as you won't choose them for any other category Would have thought Aus for Swimming, US for Athletics. US by volume of medals in the most important category Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: Graham C on July 26, 2012, 10:24:51 AM Germany seem ok at canoeing if you're struggling for that category
Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: ACE2M on July 26, 2012, 10:37:36 AM Germany seem ok at canoeing if you're struggling for that category struggling for almost all the categories... thanks for responses so far.

Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: TightEnd on July 26, 2012, 10:47:18 AM Gymnastics is tough
Big category. China did best in Beijing, fwiw S Korea and Russia also strong Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: The Camel on July 26, 2012, 10:48:44 AM Isn't this thread defeating the object of the comp?
Surely the fun of entering a competition like this is doing the research yourself? FWIW I think it's a great idea for an Olympic fantasy pool Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: ACE2M on July 26, 2012, 10:57:06 AM Isn't this thread defeating the object of the comp?

FWIW I think it's a great idea for an Olympic fantasy pool no time, but i want to be in for the banter... if i win i'll give it to charity Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: TightEnd on July 26, 2012, 10:58:40 AM agreed a terrific idea
really original Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: ACE2M on July 26, 2012, 11:49:34 AM agreed a terrific idea really original cheers, it was mine and someone elses idea. i would have ran it on here but millidonk has got something going already.

I struggled with thinking of original ideas of what to do with my Olympic thread, the general feedback I have had was that majority of people don't want to do research or that , they just want to flick a tenna in and see how they go. Even if it does take 10 seconds on google. I personally would love something like this. Would give good sweats and banter. Run it for the paras? Oh and obv join in my one. :) Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: kinboshi on July 26, 2012, 02:21:57 PM Turkey used to be strong (pun intended) in weightlifting. No idea how much strength in depth they have or if it goes for both male and female events.

Title: Re: help - fantasy olympics Post by: ACE2M on July 26, 2012, 03:12:38 PM so difficult to place China - they will win almost all the medals in badminton and table tennis probably
