or (Para)lympic sweepstake - how would we fair in that...

If we had taken the challenge of the Paralympic sweep stake we would have drawn teams again in-line with the Beijing medal table, although actually Asta's Kazakhstan was the only country not represented at the Paralympics.  With two days to go how are you all fairing in the medal table?
