The Great Big A2K Fantasy Olympics Game For 2012!

Oh, noooo, look who's in first!

I honestly believe tgordon92 will win... again.

But be sure as hell I'm going to give him a ride for his money!

I can visualize both of those situations.

Good luck to both of you, with a slight edge for you from here, just because my car license plate has the name of a favorite band of yours.

I'm out of it, fool didn't pick Kazachstan (sp), underappreciated the Brits, chose Russia <waves hand, showing no concern>.

We need more trash talkers. Michiganders?

I've got the same numbers.

Damn Russians - almost makes one pine for the good ol' USSR.

Ooo, I'm in 7th!

My cable was out last night, which meant my cable modem was out last night too . Hence, I wasn't able to update the scores, but I'm assuming they're correct (and markr had the same).

Looking at who is ahead of me, I've got a tough road. Many above me have the same Group A picks as me (except Shuho and Iautah, who don't have Great Britain). My best chances at catching the leaders are Switzerland (Equestrian?), Poland, Italy, Japan, Greece and Ethiopia. None are juggernauts by any means, but thankfully, there are many non-mainstream events remaining.

Of course, this is assuming the rest of my countries continue to perform...

Fbaezer stays in the lead, with shuho jumping over me into second.

In case anyone cares, fbaezer and I have very similar entries, with fbaezer having Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Indonesia, and Mexico to my Japan, Czech Republic, New Zealand, Croatia, and Greece.

Indonesia was a big mistake of mine.

I have the same scores.

This should be tight until the end. Italy is making a comeback, but South Korea is really kicking butt this Olympics.

Thus far, Greece is the pick I'd change if I could...

shuho moved down, due to the strength of Great Britain and Russia today. fbaezer is still in the lead, but tgordon92 has closed the gap just a little...

I've got slightly different results, wheel, and I can't figure out why I've got one point more for a few people and one point fewer for George:

Mine matches wheel158's.

Maybe this will help:

641 shuho

124 Russian Federation
149 People's Republic of China – women
78 France
57 Italy
81 Republic of Korea
18 Brazil
14 Jamaica
31 Kazakhstan
13 Kenya
23 New Zealand
5 Azerbaijan
30 Islamic Republic of Iran
13 Croatia
1 Uzbekistan
4 Serbia

That helps, markr. I had a bronze medal misallocated to the Chinese women that belonged to the Chinese men.

Don't I get at least 1 point for Manzano's silver medal in 1500 meters?

Shuho drops just out of medal position, and look who's taken the lead!

I have the same scores...though I wish I had about 30 more points.

Iautah makes a *big* move today, mostly thanks to USA Women, who had a successful day. Definitely a dark horse, if the USA Women keep it up.

I'm hearing it at home.

The Games are costing £12bn. But can you really put a price on two bronze medals in cycling? - Jimmy Carr UK comedian.

Ireland will come to a standstill at 4.45pm BST as Katie Taylor boxes for gold in the female Lightweight division. With one showjumping bronze and three other boxers advancing to semi-finals held later this week, the 2nd week of London 2012 has proved pretty successful. Go Katie!

Can we do teh same for the paraolympics?
