I hope that Germany will get more medals than AUstralia and Japan again. Its kinda annoying to be the masters of silver and bronze medals but failing the gold.

China will definately have an advantage, seeing they're strong in many sports such as table tennis, diving (both barely a sport imo) or gymnastics, where you can get lots of medals.
