with less than a week to go til the Beijing Olympics,
looks like a crappy enough excuse for a tipping comp!

just pick the number of gold, silver & bronze
you think the aussies will deliver in 2008

here's the form guide for ya -
2004 Athens - 17 Gold / 16 Silver / 16 Bronze
2000 Sydney - 16 Gold / 25 Silver / 17 Bronze
1996 Atlanta - 9 Gold / 9 Silver / 23 Bronze
1992 Barcelona - 7 Gold / 7 Silver / 11 Bronze


Here are my tips -
8 Gold / 13 Silver / 15 Bronze


i'll lock in the tips once the opening ceremony starts.
no prizes for winning, except you'll get bragging rights for the next 4 years!
you can change your signature to -
"Official FTO Australia 2008 Olympics Tipping Winner"

winner will be determined by correct number of GOLD,
silvers & bronzes will be used to decide the winner if
we end up with more than 1 person guessing the gold's correctly.

start your tipping!!!!
