Miss Cleo may have predicted Canada would finish 1st in medals, however, Sports Illustrated has just published their list... with Germany up top for the 2nd Olympics in a row.
Quote:
Sports Illustrated is picking Canada to be second-best at this month's Olympics in Vancouver.
In its Feb. 8 edition, which hits newsstands Wednesday, the sports magazine projects the Canadian team to finish with 30 medals at the Games - 10 gold, 11 silver and nine bronze. Germany is predicted to lead the way with 35 medals, including 11 gold, 11 silver and 13 bronze.
Sports Illustrated thinks the Americans will finish third with 27 medals; seven gold, 10 silver and 10 bronze.
The Germans topped the medal count at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy with 29 medals.
The Americans were second with 25, followed by the Canadians with 24.

While I'm sure Canada would be somewhat disappointed NOT to finish first, a lot of the European countries are super heavy hitters in all of the sports that aren't hockey.
