With the Olympics at a close 34 odd days away. I'd like to know what sport it is your country would be best at, and hope to take the gold medal for!

Australia always comes about 4th / 5th, in the Olympics, which for a country of 20 million is a great effort. Always USA #1, China #2 =p.

Hopefully Australia will perform well in the Swimming as they seem to do in the previous years.

Australia's best sports are usually:

Swimming
Rowing
Field Hockey
Cycling

few others.

So what medal does your country expect to take home in what sport?
