After South Africa’s dismal showing at the Beijing Olympics, the powers that be in South Africa are forecasting 12 medals for South Africa in London 2012. Are they Dreaming or could they know something the experts don’t know?
The Wall Street Journal’s projections are a product of the probabilities of success
based on recent performance, interviews with experts and other factors. They even had Actuaries run thousands of probability tests.
The sad news is the experts believe that Team SA will return with 3 Medals, still a huge improvement on Beijing, but it would be particularly disappointing for the athletes, the supporters and of course the ‘beefy’ administrators.
