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

Germany seem ok at canoeing if you're struggling for that category

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

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.  |

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.

Dutch are good at dressage, not sure about the other equestrian events though.
