Which nation will win them most medals in Turin.

Germany. No doubt about that.

US probably... at least I think that's usually how it is. I think that's because we tend to throw more money at helping people train.

I hope that someone other then amerika wins...

Norway.

Norway.

Per capita, or what?

Its only day 1. Its always close between Norway and Germany.

No. If you give gold medals the most value, germany gets in first. If its equal value, Norway is first.

I would like to see USA take most medals, but everyones right it will probably be Germany.

Thread title: "Who will win the most medals." I say Norway. Although I agree, if we're talking the most Gold medals, either Germany or.. maybe the US if we're exceptional. Otherwise, for total overall, Norway.

Germany - they're starting strong, especially with Greis's win in the 20km Biathlon

As if someone really cares about this - but I was bored, OK?

Russia!

Madagascar!

Way to not put Canada on the options, while I don't think they will win who really considers Austria a contender to take the most? Honestly...

I hope that someone other then amerika wins...
The spirit of the Olympics lives on!

Madagascar!
No! Mongolia's two skiiers will beat Madagascar! lol

Canada or maybe Norway, they were a big surprise with 4.

Didn't Germany make the Nordic Combination, or whatever it's called (where you ski and shoot...), as well?

Go Germany!

That's the Biathlon(sp) me thinks.
I just remembered about the Aussie speed skater in the last Winter Olympics who won gold...only after the rest of the skaters all crashed out on the last turn or whenever it was. Sometimes it pays to be deadset last and way out of contention:cool:

During the '02 Olypmics in Salt Lake I got to Kazakstan's women hockey team play Canads. It was kind of one sided, but they had a phenominal goalie.

I notice the US got the most votes. great.:rolleyes:

~snip~ It was kind of one sided, but they had a phenominal goalie.
She was the one who was doing the most work on that team by the sounds of it. Bound to get good sooner or later if you're having the puck belted at you every 30 seconds:p

I'm guessing you're thinking about biathlon, also known as "Norwegian Drive-by"? :)

I don't know about you people, but I have my money on Kazakhstan.

I hope that someone other then amerika wins...
Please at least give The United States the respect of spelling America correctly, even if you aren't for their country.

USA has the best sportmen (and the best doping )
