Women's basketball is the only one of those that's a for-sure lock.
Men's basketball and Women's volleyball both should win gold, but it's not totally impossible that they don't.
Women's football is a toss-up.

Nah women's volleyball is 100% guaranteed lol.

Both teams competing are Team USA.
 
Question for ChinaGAF - of all the sports China excels at during the Olympics, which are the most popular on a national level and attract crowds/TV viewers etc?

Table tennis, definitely. They swept all the gold medals in 2008 and 2012. I remember watching one of the 2008 medal ceremonies, the crowd was packed and everyone sang the Chinese national anthem.
 
Why are you trash talking Team GB for the upteenth time then? You're obsessed with TeamGB, admit it. No boxing matches were fixed.

He just can't take that an Englishman won Le Tour and we dominated the cycling, a sport that France have traditionally done well at.

The thing is, I love France, I have a bunch of friends from France and I am learning to speak French and my friends all take the sledging in good humour as would we Brits if we found ourselves behind France in the medals table. Kurt is just one of those small minded, petty guys who has little bearing on how French people actually are.
 
This has to be the most German looking guy of all time.

living in germany, I can tell you everyone looks like that and there are people with some particular traits that are more german than his.

this guy could easily be australian, american, canadian, etc..

I remember reading an article where they said they had televisions on a bus broadcasting the match and at one point the driver stopped the bus to watch the match and no one complained.

Bahahahahahahahaha,sure.

I don't care about cycling or that you have more medals, I was talking about boxing.If you can't handle that a match with a GB boxer was fixed in his favour, then I'm not the problem.

Also why are you talking about GB in France-Spain?!
 
Watching the Decathlon.

This has to be the most German looking guy of all time.

Someone warn Stallone to stay out of London.

Aryan as fuck.
 
Handball is a much better sport anyway ;°)

Well, if I'm being honest, the handball has been a lot more exciting to watch than the basketball (and football) in general.

But most of gaf still probably thinks "handball lol".

Though, I know that's not the reason you're saying it :)
 
Damn I missed Ireland's first awarded medal. Although I'm not sure I can celebrate Cian O'Connor's bronze. Well done to him.
 
Brazil, the land of the famous arses, somehow manage to find two flat arsed women to represent them at the beach volleyball? really?
 
The Chinese are number 1.

No. You're wrong. The Brazilian girls are number 1, and the Chinese girls are number 2.

The Brazilian girls are also the current champions of the World Tour, and they were world champions 6 times in the last 7 years (in 2008 another Brazilian team beat them).
