The Herald Sun has been using Infostrada data since March 2012 for its Virtual Medal Predictor for London 2012.
The pattern for total medal predictions at London from the data used by the Herald Sun is:
Last month I wrote about two other sets of predictions for total medals won.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) published its Olympic Medals Paper, Modelling Olympic Performance Economic briefing paper.
Dan Johnson published his predictions for London in March this year.
It will be interesting to compare the relative predictive merits of these data. In particular it will be fascinating to watch any momentum developed by the host nation, Great Britain.
OK, I’ll go on the line with my predictions for medals:
China 105
US 95
Britain 65
Russia 55
Germany 48
Australia 45
Japan 38
France 35
Italy 30
Korea 25
Netherlands 22
Canada 20
Kenya 17
