Olympic Athletes set 41 medal target

Team GB have been set a target of 41 medals at the Olympics. Yes we may get a few in cycling and rowing but where are the other medals comming from. Shooting used to be a big earner for us be that sport has been banned in the UK for a number of years now. So I don't really see where they are all going to come from.

Any ideas?

Nope. Maybe we are going to steal them from the others!

I wish them success.

we usually do fairly well at synchronised queuing

Yachting and rowing could do well, and maybe in equestrian events.

I wonder whether any medals which we do get will come with a free dose of Emphysema? I am not particularly sporty, except for Crown Green Bowls, but I wouldn't want to be doing any event involving deep breathing in Beijing - that Smog doesn't seem to be clearing very much.
