Russia are currently 5/4 to be the top European country for gold medals! In Beijing we had our highest gold medal total (other than 1908) of 19 and I don't think we will repeat that this year. In 2008 Russia beat us by 4, achieving 23 gold medals. A tally around this mark will be more than enough to finish 3rd once again IMO.
As for the price I think it may be worth waiting to see if GB keep up there gold medal rush for for 1 or 2 days and therefore let Russia drift out a little further, however with the athletics starting tomorrow and the wrestling soon to follow I think the price is big enough ATM to be considered very decent value.
